Care Transitions

Transferring individuals between long-term to acute care settings should optimize treatment and ensure that the “wholeness” of the individual does not get lost in the process.

Tested tool sets that address these questions and improve the acute care transfer process include INTERACT III.   The Eden Alternative provides free access to four on-demand webinars that weave person-directed care practices into the application of INTERACT III tools.

• INTERACT III Quality Improvement Tools
• INTERACT III Communication Tools
• INTERACT III Decision Support Tools
• INTERACT III Advance Care Planning Tool
