Texoma Care Transition Coalition Mission
The mission of the Texoma Care Transition Coalition is to eliminate unnecessary hospital re-admissions of Medicare beneficiaries at our local hospitals by enabling safe and effective transitions of patients between all settings of care, and empowering patients and their families to manage their health.
Important Information & Discussion
To the left you’ll find the root cause analysis for you to download & review, and assess your particular facility. This is a very important “1st step” of this process. Please bring your findings to the meeting and be prepared to discuss areas of concern and possible solutions to problem areas. Remember, we are here on a mission, to reduce re-hospitalizations long term and to communicate and improve the exchange of core clinical information among providers, caregivers, families, patients and other authorized entities. The more involved you are, the quicker we can work as a successful community team to accomplish this goal.
We know simply raising broad awareness of better practice will not achieve sustainable results. It will not change behaviors on a large scale unless communities share, interact, ask, integrate and implement to create a forceful momentum for change!
