This presentation highlights the implementation of the Rothman Index (RI) across a regional health system and the opportunities discovered to support both inter-facility and regional transitions of care. The main focus is on the basic utilization within care departments, case reviews in specialty areas such as Emergency and Critical Care, as well as the facility specific protocols for rapid response. In addition, the adaptability of the tool to a variety of disciplines in addition to nursing will be shared.
