Overview

Qualitative interviews reveal barriers and improvement opportunities in care transitions for adults with MLTC.

Key Points

  • Care transitions for adults with multiple long-term conditions often lead to adverse events, highlighting critical areas for improvement.
  • Qualitative interviews with 30 health and social care professionals revealed significant barriers driven by communication issues and lack of integration between services.
  • Thematic analysis guided by the SELFIE framework identified system-level barriers that impact the management of care transitions for patients with MLTC.
  • Enhancing care transitions requires the active engagement of patients, professionals, and stakeholders to drive sustainable change.
