Patient Transition of Care

Safe and effective transition of the discharged inpatient to a primary care physician is central to the IPC mission. Through our IPC-Link® information management system, patient admission and discharge notifications are automatically faxed to the patient’s primary care physician and/or specialist. IPC operates its own Transition of Care Center, which attempts to contact every patient within 72 hours of discharge to discuss and document the patient’s condition and successful transition back to home. The IPC clinical staff will intervene on the patient’s behalf if assistance is warranted, resulting in lower readmission rates and increased patient satisfaction.
