                  • Smooth Transitions now has state-sanctioned protection for two different confidential case review processes: IPCR and EPCR.<\/li>\n
                  • The purpose of protected case review is for multiple disciplines to come together to review a transfer and identify opportunities to improve the process and outcome for our shared patients.<\/li>\n
                  • Both review processes are intended to be educative, not punitive, and the learnings will be used to inform and generate best practices among participants.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

                      • Internal Protected Case Review (IPCR) is for community and hospital providers (and EMS, if involved) to come together for a protected case review of a specific community-to-hospital transfer.<\/li>\n
                      • This type of review addresses the need for more discussion and\/or clarity around a specific clinical case and\/or complex systems issues.<\/li>\n
                      • Only participants in Smooth Transitions can use this process.<\/li>\n
                      • The findings\/recommendations from the review will only be shared with involved parties.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

                        [\/vc_column_text][vc_toggle title=”Read more about the IPCR process here” css=””]<\/p>\n

                          \n
                        1. Request for IPCR is submitted to the Smooth Transitions Program Manager (STPM).<\/li>\n
                        2. The STPM emails out the IPCR Introduction letter, the ST Participation Agreement, and the IPCR Confidentiality Statement to involved parties*.<\/li>\n
                        3. All participants must sign the ST Participation Agreement and IPCR Confidentiality Statement to proceed.<\/li>\n
                        4. The STPM coordinates with participants to schedule a date for IPCR and clarifies the style of the review (in-person, virtual, or hybrid).<\/li>\n
                        5. The primary practitioners prepare their care summary and self-analysis to present at the IPCR.<\/li>\n
                        6. Following the IPCR, the STPM sends out a final IPCR letter of participation to the involved parties.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

                          *If a group has previously participated in an IPCR together and all appropriate documents are complete, a subsequent IPCR may be requested; the STPM should be contacted for coordination and scheduling.[\/vc_toggle][\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”External Protected Case Review (EPCR)” tab_id=”1707183202891-1d5f9bdc-8185″][vc_column_text css=””]Coming Soon…<\/span><\/strong>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_tta_section][\/vc_tta_tour][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_separator color=”blue” border_width=”6″][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_btn title=”CLICK HERE” color=”primary” size=”lg” align=”center” css=”” link=”url:mailto%3Asmoothtransitions%40qualityhealth.org|target:_blank”][vc_column_text css=””]<\/p>\n
