Informal carers' support needs, facilitators and barriers in the transitional care of older adults: A qualitative study
INTRODUCTION: Inclusion of informal carers in transitional care is challenging because of fast throughput and service fragmentation. This study aimed to understand informal carers' needs during the care transitions of older adults from inpatient care to the community. METHODS: A qualitative exploratory design was used with mixed-methods data collection. Seventeen semi-structured telephone interviews were conducted with family carers; one focus gr…
Improving transitional care communication for older Australians from hospital to home: Co‐design of the Transition Tool
This study aimed to develop and evaluate a communication tool to guide transitional care for older patients. Using experience-based co-design, a communication tool resulted from the triangulation of data collected from three study phases. From 2015 to 2016, semi-structured interviews and co-design focus groups were undertaken with older patients, carers and healthcare practitioners across acute, rehabilitation and community settings. The evaluati…
Communication and Coordination Processes Supporting Integrated Transitional Care: Australian Healthcare Practitioners’ Perspectives
Findings indicate that healthcare practitioners use a range of communication and coordination processes in optimising integrated transitional care. Although participants involved their patients in transitional care planning, most participants were unaware of the recent implementation of consumer-directed care. In contexts of community-based care shaped by multidisciplinary, sub-acute and CDC models, care integration must focus on improved communi…
User experience and care for older people transitioning from hospital to home: Patients’ and carers’ perspectives
BACKGROUND: Transitioning from hospital to home is challenging for many older people living with chronic health conditions. Transitional care facilitates safe and timely transfer of patients between levels of care and across care settings and includes communication between practitioners, assessment and planning, preparation, medication reconciliation, follow-up care and self-management education. To date, there is limited understanding of how to …
User Experience and Care Integration in Transitional Care for Older People From Hospital to Home: A Meta-Synthesis
This meta-synthesis aimed to improve understanding of user experience of older people, carers, and health providers; and care integration in the care of older people transitioning from hospital to home. Following our systematic search, we identified and synthesized 20 studies, and constructed a comprehensive framework. We derived four themes: (1) 'Who is taking care of what? Trying to work together"; (2) 'Falling short of the mark'; (3) 'A proper…
Community Aged Care Case Managers Transitioning to Consumer Directed Care: More Than Procedural Change Required
Consumer directed care (CDC) is increasing in community aged care. However, limited information is available to successfully transition social workers and other case managers to their new role. This paper reports on a case study of six senior case managers who supervised staff in three Australian community-aged care agencies as they transitioned from agency directed care to consumer directed care. A change management framework was used to analyse…
