CHSR’s Jess Clouser was recently interviewed by WUKY’s Dr. Greg Davis about preliminary findings from Project ACHIEVE. Specifically, they discuss findings from focus groups and interviews in which 248 patients and family caregivers described what matters most to them about care transitions and which provider behaviors were linked to those desired outcomes. Project ACHIEVE is a five-year, $15.5 million study funded by the Patient Centered Outcomes Research Institute (PCORI) to evaluate the effectiveness of care transition strategies and combinations of strategies employed by hospitals nationwide.
