NTOCC is a group of concerned organizations and individuals who together address the safety and quality of care for transitioning patients. This is a tool that could be used for organizational planning to create targeted action plans toward improving transitions of care.  

NTOCC completed a project to determine seven crucial elements that are involved in every quality transition of care. 

The “Seven Essential Intervention Categories” as designated by NTOCC are:

  1. Medication management
  2. Transition planning
  3. Patient and family engagement/education 
  4. Information transfer
  5. Follow-up care
  6. Health care provider engagement 
  7. Shared accountability across providers and organizations
