1. Physical Function and Hospital Readmissions
This chapter will evaluate current evidence linking impaired physical function and hospital readmissions, in the context of current payment policy. We will review how the timing and trajectories of disability and recovery surrounding hospitalization impact readmission risk and how this informs timing of treatment interventions.
2. Contemporary Trends in and Evidence for Rehabilitation Involvement in Care Transitions
This chapter will evaluate how rehabilitation professionals are currently involved in management of patients transitioning between the hospital and community, and the evidence supporting this involvement. We will identify potential gaps in care and discuss how filling these gaps may promote improved readmission outcomes.
3. Contextual Factors During Care Transitions: The Role of the Geriatric Specialist
This chapter will review how home- and community-based contextual factors, such as housing quality, poverty, and neighborhood factors, may influence care transitions. We will evaluate how geriatric specialists can help patients overcome these barriers while practicing at the top of their scope of practice.
