What is TCM?
Transitional Care Management
The acronym TCM stands for Transitional Care Management.
When you are discharged from a hospital or skilled nursing facility, AllCare Georgia will provide outreach and other healthcare services to aid your smoother transition. This is called TCM.
TCM services consist of but are not limited to:
- 24–48 hour contact call from AllCare Georgia after discharge
- Setting a follow-up appointment within the next 7- 14 days
- Medication review and quality continued care services if needed.
Transistional care is crucial for you as our patient as it ensures a smooth and safe transfer from the hospital to your home.
Reasons why TCM is important
Continuity of Care – Ensures that you continue to receive consistent and coordinated treatment throughout your healthcare journey.
Reduces your chances of being re-admitted – Effective transitional care can significantly reduce the risk of hospital readmissions by addressing potential gaps in care and ensuring that patients follow their treatment plans.
Improve your overall outcome – By providing you with comprehensive support and follow-ups, transitional care can lead to better outcomes and a quicker recovery for you.
Cost effective – Reducing your readmission to the hospital or in-patient facilities can lead to cost savings for you.
Did You Know?
- That the time between discharge and your first outpatient appointment can be the most critical time for an adverse event (possible issues from the inpatient stay) to occur.
- Your follow-up appointment can possibly be virtual.
- You have 30 days from your date of discharge to be seen by an AllCare Georgia provider.
- Allowing AllCare Georgia to assist you with transitioning back home, in most cases, will result in avoiding near future hospitalizations or inpatient stays.
- Our team is here to provide you with a thorough review of your medications current and prescribed upon release. This medication reconciliation process avoids duplications, dosing errors, or omissions.
We are here to help you bridge the gap between the hospital and home all while ensuring that you receive a safer and more customized approach to your healthcare.
If you were recently discharged from the hospital or any inpatient facility and need to schedule a follow up appointment, please contact us today!
