The Transition of Care (ToC) Task is generated when a patient attributed to your pharmacy presents with a new medication claim from a prescriber with the Emergency Medicine and/or Hospitalist taxonomy(ies). It is designed to bring you back in the loop of the patient's care as soon as possible to review new medication(s), discharge plan, and provide education to prevent a readmission. 

To begin the task, select "Start". The details of the new medication(s) will be listed first. Click near the medication name to open the item and add instructions, adherence, related items and notes as needed. After making updates, select "Save" to close the window. Then, select any other interventions performed and education provided by clicking the applicable boxes.

You can also jot down notes or indicate any related items from other sections of the profile as needed, like conditions or drug therapy problems.

Once you've captured all the pertinent details, click "Continue" to automatically generate applicable documents (like eCare Plans for CPESN member pharmacies), or click "Save and Close" if you want to pause your work and come back to it later.

As always, DocStation relies on the pharmacist's knowledge of the patient when it comes to relevancy of tasks, so if a task is not relevant to the patient, or if the patient refuses the consultation, or something else comes up that prevents you from completing the task, you can archive it instead. Select the (...) icon on the right side of the task card, then select "Archive" and choose the most applicable reason. Then select "Archive Task". If you've already started the task but decide to archive it instead, select the same (...) menu and select "Archive".
