Fourteen state Medicare Quality Improvement
Organizations (QIOs) are working with communities of
health care providers to coordinate care and promote
seamless transitions across settings, including from the
hospital to home, skilled nursing care, or home health
care. QIOs are also looking to reduce unnecessary
readmissions to hospitals that may increase risk or harm
to patients and cost to Medicare. States working to
improve care transitions include: Alabama, Colorado,
Florida, Georgia, Indiana, Louisiana, Michigan,
Nebraska, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Rhode
Island, Texas, and Washington. Click on the markers

state participating in this initiative.
