Interprofessional Education on Transitions from Hospital to Skilled Nursing Facilities

At our institution, an interprofessional (IP) hospital team consisting of a hospitalist, pharmacist, and nurse practitioner, meets with IP teams from local skilled nursing facilities (SNFs) in a weekly teleconference to reconcile gaps in care for patients recently discharged from the hospital to the SNFs. We created an IP learning experience centered around this teleconference with the aim of teaching learners the importance of working with an IP team to perform safe hospital-to-SNF transitions.
