Discussion Questions
Planning for our patients during times of transitions (for example: hospital to home, home to rehabilitation
facility) involves collaboration with a number of healthcare professionals. Please address the following
questions:
How does your facility promote interprofessional collaboration during times of patient transitions?
What is the role of the nurse in patient transitions?
What gaps can you identify in this process related to quality of care? (If you are not currently in practice, please
use a previous role or clinical experience in your answers.)
