Optimizing Transitions Between Nursing Homes and EDs in the Age of COVID-19

On March 30, 2020 experts in emergency medicine, nursing home care, and palliative care came together to discuss strategies for improving transitions between nursing homes and EDs in this time of COVID-19 – and always. Panelists explored key challenges in communication, care coordination, and decision-making, offering practical solutions to strengthen collaboration between facilities and ensure the best outcomes for older adults. By fostering collaboration and implementing structured processes, healthcare providers can optimize transitions of care and improve the quality and safety of care for older adults.
