How Do Nursing Liaisons Assist in Patient Transitions?
Nursing liaisons play a key role in managing patient transitions between different care settings, such as from hospital to home or to a rehabilitation facility. They ensure a seamless transition by:
- Creating Discharge Plans: Developing comprehensive discharge plans that outline the next steps in care. - Coordinating Services: Arranging for home healthcare services, medical equipment, and follow-up appointments. - Educating Caregivers: Training family members or caregivers on how to provide care at home.
