Maintaining • Establishes and maintains trusting relationships with Relationships older adults and family caregivers. Engaging Patients and • Engages older adults and family caregivers in design and implementation of plans of care aligned with Caregivers individuals’ preferences, values and goals. 7 TCM’s Core Components Educating/Promoting • Prepares older adults and family caregivers to prevent or identify and respond quickly respond to Self-Management worsening health and social needs. • Promotes consensus on plans of care between older Collaborating adults and members of the care team. • Prevents breakdowns in care by having same APRN Promoting Continuity help older adult and family caregivers navigate multiple clinicians, health and community sectors. • Promotes communication and connections between Fostering Coordination healthcare and community-based care staff. 8 Sample TCM Protocol: Intensive Phase (Hospital to Home) st CONFIRM ELIGIBILITY 1 APN VISIT IN HOSPITAL ADMISSION Within 24hrs of enrollment: APRN conducts DAILY APN VISIT IN HOSPITAL APRN reviews screening results Throughout hospitalization: APRN visits Patient (≥65yo) comprehensive assessment, including and EHR, and then engages patient and collaborates with health care admitted to patient’s and caregiver’s goals and needs, patient and caregiver (if team members to design and coordinate and initiates collaboration with health care hospital. available). evidence-based transitional care plan. team. If Patient is rehospitalized within the 90-day period, APRN conducts same visit pattern.
