In this mixed methods study, we examine how electronic tools impact patient/family experience of communication in hospital and care transitions from hospital to home. Care Connector is an electronic interprofessional communication and collaboration platform initially designed to address communication challenges faced by interprofessional care team. It has been augmented to support care transitions through a care transition module (that include the generation of provider-facing discharge summary and PODS). This study examines the impact of this care transition module on patient/family experience of in-hospital communication and care transitions. The quantitative component is a controlled study where baseline data is collected on 4 medicine wards. The care transition module is then introduced to 2 of the 4 medicine wards (intervention) while the other 2 (control) wards continue to operate without the explicit use of the care transition module. Data is then collected again on all 4 wards to understand impact of patient/family experience, as well as objective outcomes of ED visits and re-admission within 30 days. A number of care transition process measures will also be obtained. In the qualitative component, we will interview patients/families, as well as healthcare providers to understand how technology can or cannot address these issues.
