Join us for a Café Scientifique!
Older
adults
with
complex
health
problems,
such
as
those
with
hip
fractures,
often
need
care
from
multiple
health
professionals
across
a
variety
of
settings.
More
and
more
it
is
being
recognized
that
care
quality
and
patient
safety
may
be
most
at
risk
during
the
transition
from
one
setting
to
another.
Despite
the
frequency
and
importance
of
these
transitions,
transitional
care
has
received
little
attention
in
research,
health
policy,
and
clinical
practice.
The
InfoRehab
Transitions
project
focused
on
the
transitional
care
experiences
of
older
hip
fracture
patients,
and
involved
interviews
with
patients,
their
family
members,
and
health
care
providers
at
each
transition
in
care.
Join
us
to
discuss
what
the
project
discovered
about
what
is
currently
working
well,
what
areas
need
improvement,
and
what
patients,
family
members,
and
health
care
providers
can
do
to
make
transitions
as
smooth
as
possible.
Free
parking
is
available
in
Uptown
Waterloo.
Refreshments
will
be
provided.
