the hospital discharge may be improved. Obtain support from hospitals to have Transitions be an on-going PFAC meeting agenda item
o MA Coalition continue to support shared local learning among Massachusetts hospitals working with their PFACs on this topic
o MA Coalition continue to provide opportunities to learn from other hospitals nationally
Other Ideas?? Are there hospitals focusing on this now? Seeking hospitals’ input on statewide Transition strategy to be proposed
