Patients can (and want to) play a role in better follow-up care after hospitalization. Now there’s a tool for that! The Patient-Oriented Discharge Summary (PODS) is tried, tested and FREE. It’s a simple form YOU can use to get hospitals, patients and your team literally on the same page when it comes to follow-up after discharge. Patients also can (and want to) tell us what matters to them. Need help getting the conversation started? Check out HQO’s new Patient Engagement Tools & Resources. Let us know if you’d like to partner with us to host a focus group for patients about how to do a better job of reflecting quality in primary care. Dancing at my daughter’s wedding: A new tool will help you and your patients set and monitor goals that matter to you and them – together. Sign up for the Physician Networking Session at the AFHTO 2017 conference to find out how you can start using it! New faces (and names) at AFHTO! Join us in welcoming Shilpa Magesh, an intern from the McMaster MSc (eHealth) program and Laura Belsito, registered dietitian and Clinical KTE Specialist! They’ll be supporting clinical and interprofessional communities of practice and facilitating AFHTO improvement initiatives. In Case You Missed It: Check out eBulletin #61 for D2D 5.0 Updates.
