Background: High-quality transitional care at discharge is essential for improved patient outcomes. Registered nurses (RNs) play integral roles in transitions; however, few receive structured training.
Purpose: We sought to create, implement, and evaluate an evidence-informed nursing transitional care coordination curriculum, the Transitions Nurse Training Program (TNTP).
Methods: We conceptualized the curriculum using adult learning theory and evaluated with the New World Kirkpatrick Model. Self-reported engagement, satisfaction, acquired knowledge, and confidence were assessed using surveys. Clinical and communication skills were evaluated by standardized patient assessment and behavior sustainment via observation 6 to 9 months posttraining.
Results: RNs reported high degrees of engagement, satisfaction, knowledge, and confidence and achieved a mean score of 92% on clinical and communication skills. Posttraining observation revealed skill sustainment (mean score 98%).
Conclusions: Results suggest TNTP is effective for creating engagement, satisfaction, acquired and sustained knowledge, and confidence for RNs trained in transitional care.

Utilization of transitional care management services and 30-day readmission.

Transitional care management (TCM) visits have been shown to reduce 30-day readmissions, but it is unclear whether the decrease arises from the TCM visit itself or from clinic-level changes to meet the requirements of the TCM visits. We conducted a cross-sectional analysis using data from Northwell Health to examine the association between the type of post-discharge follow-up visits (TCM visits versus non-TCM visits based on billing) and 30-day readmission. Furthermore, we assessed whether being seen by a provider who frequently utilizes TCM visits or the TCM visit itself was associated with 30-day readmission.
