Change Package and Tools

Introduction

Are you interested in making changes to improve care coordination for patients? The Home-to-Hospital-to-Home (H2H2H) Transitions Change Package was created to help primary care physicians and team members implement practice changes that improve care coordination for patients experiencing transitions in care. The change package tools were designed to work best in conjunction with quality improvement training to maximize their impact. 

The H2H2H process improvement change package was developed by the Alberta Medical Association (AMA) Accelerating Change Transformation Team (ACTT). Input was sought from patients who have lived experience in care transitions, and from providers with experience treating patients who require care coordination during transitions.
