The Hospital-to-Home-Health Transition Quality (H3TQ) Index is a novel measure that identifies threats to patient safety in real time for older adults receiving skilled home healthcare (HH) services after hospital discharge. The H3TQ identifies organizational and individual threats to patient safety related to patient/caregiver expectations and ability to implement the care plan, HH provider information management, and administrative barriers to delivering care. HH providers use the H3TQ during the first home visit after hospital discharge to identify when safe practices are not taking place and to target older adults for intervention. Older adults and caregivers also use the H3TQ to identify threats to patient safety.
