护理方面的不良过渡代表着改善的机会。这项研究的目的是检查出院患者的早期随访是否随着以患者为中心的疗养院(PCMH)容量的变化而变化。PCMH容量与早期随访没有显著关联；然而，在慢性病较多的患者中，容量水平较高与早期随访相关。政策制定者和从业者应该考虑如何针对PCMH来最大限度地发挥其改善这些患者护理过渡的潜力，以及如何修改它以改善其他类型患者的过渡。
Poor transitions in care represent opportunities for improvement. The purpose of this study was to examine whether early follow-up by patients discharged from a hospital varied as a function of patient-centered medical home (PCMH) capacity. The PCMH capacity was not significantly associated with early follow-up; however, higher levels of capacity were associated with early follow-up among patients with more chronic conditions. Policy makers and practitioners should consider how the PCMH may be targeted to maximize its potential to improve transitions in care for these patients and ways it may be modified to improve transitions for other types of patients.
