The SafeMed care transitions model uses intensive medication reconciliation and home assessments to manage the patients who tend to be heavy utilizers of inpatient and emergency services. The University of Tennessee Health Science Center developed this toolkit in collaboration with the American Medical Association.
Your patients can sign up for a free texting program to help them quit smoking through the National Cancer Institute’s Smokefree.gov program. Patients will start by accessing the sign-up page and then they can create their own texting program that works for them.
