Older adults with chronic conditions are at risk for increased physician, emergency room and hospital visits compared to those without chronic conditions. People with Parkinson’s disease are among this vulnerable population and at risk for devastating consequences. Transitions in care generally refers to movement across and within healthcare settings and healthcare providers (e.g. from home to the emergency room, home to hospital, hospital to home care or skilled nursing care, skilled nursing care to home, etc.). Missed, delayed or withdrawal of Parkinson’s medications are known to cause significant morbidity and mortality. This nursing web seminar will present issues specific to Parkinson’s disease patients during care transitions, present recent nursing research on this issue, and provide an opportunity for nurses to contemplate care improvements to avoid adverse outcomes during care transitions.
Participants in this web seminar will be able to:
- Define transitional care concepts and elements as they pertain to Parkinson’s disease patients;
- Discuss the vulnerabilities of those with Parkinson’s disease across care transitions;
- Describe nursing research in interprofessional transitional care simulations; and,
- List nursing care avenues to improve transitional care for those with Parkinson’s disease.
