The DFW Hospital Council (DFWHC) Foundation will be hosting the inaugural meeting of the Care Transitions Committee on Wednesday, June 26 from 12 noon to 1:30 p.m. The virtual event will be an opportunity for healthcare representatives to discuss goals and develop a charter for the committee.

“This committee should serve as a great opportunity to create awareness and improve quality in our North Texas hospitals,” said Patti Taylor, committee coordinator and director of quality and patient safety at the DFWHC Foundation. “We were asked to create this committee and we’re excited to assist in the coordination.”

According to Patti, improving care transitions between healthcare settings is critical to improving patients’ quality of care and their outcomes.

“Effective care transitions can prevent medical errors and unnecessary hospitalizations and readmissions,” Patti said. “We’re looking forward to this inaugural meeting and most importantly assisting the hospitals of North Texas.”
