%X In a previous study, sepsis was noted as a diagnosis on the home health record only 4% of the time for 165,000 sepsis survivors transitioning from hospital to home health care in America. If sepsis and other conditions are not clearly documented in the transitional care record this can lead to unpreparedness, missed, care, and poor patient outcomes. Our implementation science study discovered a source of this problem regarding the sepsis documentation in 16 hospitals referring to five home care agencies. Together, researchers, hospital, and home care personnel developed and implemented two information technology solutions to address this deficit in seven hospitals. The automated method was more readily adopted and effective in improving information transfer between hospital and home health care.
