Abstract
Many nursing home transition barriers are manmade and avoidable. PPACA is encouraging improvement and reduced unnecessary hospitalizations through incentives and penalties. Providers are responding through a variety of internal and collaborative models. The resulting communication, technology, education, and emphasis can improve the quality of life for the people served.
