Transitions Theory : Application Of Transitional Care Programs

The purpose of this paper is to bring forth awareness when it comes to patients and medication errors and further educates health care professionals on the importance of communication especially during transition of care. According to Williams and Ashrcoft (2013) “ An estimated median of 19.1 % of total opportunities for error in hospitals.” Although not all medication errors occur during transition it is the time most prevalent for these errors to occur. As per Johnson, Guirguis, and Grace (2015) “An estimated 60% of all medication errors occur during transition of care. The National Transitions of Care Coalition defines a transition of care as the movement of patients between healthcare locations, providers, or different levels of care within the same location as their conditions and care needs change, [and] frequently involves multiple persons, including the patient, the family member or other caregiver(s), nurse(s), social worker(s), case manager(s), pharmacist(s), physician(s), and other providers.”

Through out our lives we are confronted by changes. People, places and even our own bodies change. We are faced by ongoing periods of transition as things alter from how they were to how they are now. Transitions can positively or negatively impact on children and young people’s development depending on how they are supported and the change is managed.

This essay will cover transitions in the early years. It will discuss a diverse range of transitions, which each child may encounter during their early years of life. It will discuss different types of transitions such as horizontal and vertical transitions, with reference to appropriate theorists such as Bowlby and Ainsworth’s and their research on the attachment theory. The last section of the essay will show a high quality policy and procedure, going into detail on how it will support a child in the transition from pre-school in a nursery setting, to reception in a primary school.

3.3 Describe with examples how transitions may affect children and young people’s behaviour and development

Researchers interviewed 1,699 adults that included primary caretakers for 811 children. And they investigated five factors: health conditions, health behaviors and attitudes, health care access, quality of life, and social or environmental factors. The communities were largely minority. One of the discoveries was that:

Transition of care appeals to me the most in my practice as a case manager. When a patient gets admitted, the interdisciplinary team starts working on the discharge planning. I always wonder how can the team know for sure, that the patient is ready to be transitioned and how can we know for sure that the transition of care is safe and it would not be overlook?

If you’re a caregiver you know that some days are better than others, but when you’re caring for a person who suffers from Alzheimer’s it can feel like things change from minute to minute. The professionals at Senior Care Transition Services provide free resources and senior living advice to people in the Dayton, OH, area who are looking for in home care providers, medical services, senior services, and assisted living communities. They know how trying caring for someone with Alzheimer’s can be and they have 3 valuable tips for all of the dedicated caregivers out there:

The transitioning to a long-term care facility can be scary and stressful for residents, and some may find it difficult to adjust. I agree with you that the enabler role can be of great assistance to the resident and their families to help reduce the stress of entering a new facility. The frequent visits and encouragement from the social worker will let both the patient and their family know they will not be alone during this transition. Have you ever had to utilize the services of a social worker? In my current position, I come into contact with patients who require the support of a social worker typically for help with resources that they need to attain. Being a social worker is a demanding position since they are there to assist the patient,

Care should be integrated, and incentives should be aligned to the well-being of the enrolled population. The fundamental objective of implementation of the transition plan should be improving patient health. Primary care should be a major focus, and the goal should be improving the health of the enrolled population. The program should survive long enough to lead to improvements that can be measured.

The practice intervention that I will be evaluating was undertaken in a local authority statutory children in care team. Kieran was made subject to an interim care order (S.38 Children Act, 1989) shortly after birth, following concerns that his parents were not meeting his basic needs in terms of food, warmth and nurturing. The mother Sarah has three children from a previous relationship who have all been removed from her care. Paul is the putative father and Kieran is their first child together. My role in this case was to assess the parenting capacity of Paul alongside concurrent planning for the adoption of Kieran. Paul and Kieran and were placed in a parent and baby placement as part of the assessment, however at the point of my intervention Paul had left the placement, leaving Kieran with the foster carers. Whilst this intervention was the subject of TMA 02 in my early stages of practice placement, there were further developments in that Paul was found not to be the father of Kieran and the birth father was in fact Sarah’s previous partner Martin, who was the father to her previous three children. Martin then made an application for the care of Kieran and therefore I was required to undertake a parenting assessment of him also. I have selected this case again as it demonstrates my continuing development as a critical practitioner in ‘applying reflection and curiosity to practice’ (The Open University 2016 a p.92) as well as how critical appraisal of further specialist

As enrollment increased emergency room over-utilization for non-emergent reasons decreased. The new Medicaid Managed Care population was being educated on the ‘Gate Keeper’ concept; the idea of having a primary care physician. A large primary care pediatric practice launched an Emergency Room diversion pilot program and conducted a study of Medicaid recipients, 18 years and younger . (2) 17,382 children were enrolled in an enhanced access group (intervention group) and 26,066 received services from other local primary care providers (control group).

The transition to childhood can be a very difficult process for children with disabilities because they are entering an unfamiliar world with many different new things to explore and to survive this world there are certain skills that must be acquired. To develop those skills teachers, families, school staff, agencies and other professional come together to help students set goals and learn skills that are necessary to maintain a living, get a job and furthering their education, this preparation help facilitate the transition into adult life . During the transition planning different services and activities are develop to help student with
