This quality improvement project sought to improve continuity of care for mentally ill patients who receive services from a rural mental health care system. A literature review found that poor communication, especially during transitions, impedes continuity of care and leads to negative outcomes. Interprofessional collaboration in the form of communication and information exchange is integral to successful transitions and continuity of care. Improving discharge processes and utilizing tools that facilitate discharge can improve communication practices. This paper details the steps taken to improve the discharge process, including the development of a transitional care tool, in this rural mental health care system.
