This presentation will describe a Quality Improvement Initiative implemented at AdCare Hospital to facilitate patients' transition to outpatient treatment from inpatient treatment. The need for this PI initiative was identified by various parts of the AdCare system, including Outpatient Directors (noting high no-show rates for patients referred), and the Admissions Department (reporting readmission requests from patients who had not followed their discharge plan). The Team identified a series of "Points of Contact" throughout the patients' treatment process, which educated/reinforced the need for continuing care; and developed a "Day of Discharge Group" to discuss the aftercare plan, identify barriers to implementation, and enhance motivation for participation. A "Treatment Continuity Questionnaire" was administered pre-post implementation of the PI Initiative to assess changes in patients' perception of the need for continuing treatment, and influences on such. Data on show rates and treatment plan acceptance within the AdCare system will be presented as well as other refinements made within the system to enhance the outcome.
 

Presented by: 

Jack J. Maroney, MS, LADC1, Community Services Representative for Adcare Hospital 
Jane M. Jolly, Director of Outpatient Operations for AdCare Hospital
