OPTIMIZING TRANSITIONS OF CARE
for Patients With Type 2 Diabetes

Discharge planning should begin
at the time of hospital admission, and plans should be adapted as the patient’s needs change. Effective transitions of care, patient education, and patient engagement can help reduce risk at hospital discharge and improve self-management for patients with either type 2 diabetes (T2D) or T2D with other comorbidities.¹

Poorly managed care transitions
can impact patient health and contribute to
unnecessary costs. For patients with either T2D on its own, or those with multiple chronic conditions, effective care transitions can help reduce unnecessary readmissions by providing a lifestyle management plan, ensuring appropriate follow-up, and facilitating patient self-management.^1,2 Effective care transition programs require coordination across sites of care and a collaborative, multidimensional care team.^1-3
