Safe Transition of Care documentation

Safe Transition of Care documentation refers to the clear and accurate transfer of a patient's health information when they move between healthcare settings or providers. It ensures that everyone involved in the patient's care has the necessary details about their medical history, treatments, medications, and ongoing needs. Proper documentation reduces the risk of errors, improves patient safety, and helps maintain continuity of care. Essentially, it’s about creating a reliable “handover” record that enables seamless, coordinated healthcare as patients transition from one setting to another.
