| Abstract/Description: | Background Potentially avoidable nursing home-to-hospital transfers can cause harm to vulnerable residents and are costly (McCarthy et al., 2020). Nursing homes (NH) with an effective hospital transfer prevention program (HTPP) have been shown to keep residents safe, improve health outcomes, and control healthcare expenditures (McCarthy et al., 2020). Studies have shown that many hospital transfers can be avoided with evidence-based interventions (Ouslander et al., 2014). Aim This program evaluation aims to examine the current HTPP at a nursing facility in South Florida to determine its effectiveness in decreasing hospital transfers by evaluating the use of the interventions in place and the number of hospital transfers each quarter in one year. | |
