Summary:
Barriers to interoperable data exchange across the continuum complicate smooth transitions of care. This session will examine ways to overcome these barriers, resulting in less safe and burdensome transitions of care. Specifically, by engaging multidisciplinary care teams, the PACIO project is working to identify and address transitions of care data interoperability challenges. The PACIO Project is a collaborative effort to advance interoperable health data exchange between post-acute care (PAC) and other providers, patients, and key stakeholders across health care and to promote health data exchange in collaboration with policy makers, standards organizations, and industry through a consensus-based, use case-driven approach.

Objectives:
1. Compare and contrast clinical workflow development and standards development
2. Summarize how each of PACIO’s implementation guides support transitions of care.
3. Identify the types of information their own clinical discipline would contribute to a transition of care composition.
