Presentation Summary:

Patients transitioning from the hospital into the community are vulnerable to adverse outcomes and unplanned readmissions. This presentation will discuss how patient-reported adverse outcomes (PRAOs), from a randomized controlled trial (RCT) on improving the transition of care, can identify issues in healthcare and address the need to improve patient safety.

Learning Objectives:

1. Define adverse outcomes and recognize how PRAOs are a valuable tool.

2. Describe the mixed-methods approach used to analyze and interpret PRAOs.

3. Discuss the issues in healthcare identified by PRAOs.
