TRANSITIONS OF CARE
Confidential and proprietary.
Transitions of Care (TOC)
The Care Coordinator is key to supporting the member’s needs across the continuum of care. The goal is to reduce incidents related to fragmented or unsafe care and reduce readmissions for the same condition, planned or unplanned:
• Delegate will receive notification from Blue Plus when Blue Plus receives notification from the hospital/facility
• Use 6.22.01 Transition Log Instructions as a resource (available on CC Portal)
• Document transition activities on 6.22 Transition of Care Log (date each field)
• Unrelated transitions should be started on a new transition of care log
• All TOC activities must be completed within 1 business day of notification
67
Confidential and proprietary.
Transitions of Care (TOC)
If CC learns of transition 15 days or more after the member returned to their usual care setting, no log is required. CC should reach out to member or responsible party to discuss:
• Transition process,
• Changes to the member’s health status,
• Plan of care, and
• Document information in case notes
**It is best practice to follow up with the member or responsible party to assess if other services are needed, use your discretion depending on when you learn of the transition.**
