Transitional Care Leadership Summit
Following publication of our study, From Hospital-to-Home: Improving Transitional Care for Older Adults, Health Research for Action convened a national leadership summit on transitional care to:
- Learn about innovative models that meet the needs of seniors and caregivers.
- Discuss changes in policy and practice to improve post-acute care nationally.
- Develop strategies for implementing recommendations in From Hospital to Home.
Participants included more than 50 leaders in the field of transitional care, representing health care systems, professional associations, research institutions, transitional care programs, foundations, policy and advocacy organizations, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, the US Administration on Aging, and the California Health and Human Services Agency.
The summit was cosponsored by the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation and The California Endowment.
