ACP has been awarded a grant of $60,000 from the ABIM Foundation to support efforts in developing tools for primary care practices to improve care transitions for patients moving from the hospital to the home.

As part of ACP's Medical Home Builder, the project, called IM-PACT, will work on improvements to coordination of care during inpatient stays and transitions from hospital to community-based care. The initiative will look at evidence-based transitions programs to identify common elements that relate to primary care and explore how primary care clinicians can optimize their practices in response.
