Receiving a new resident without the necessary care information can have serious outcomes for resident care as well as facility reimbursement. According to a report published by the Office of the National Coordinator for Health IT (ASTP/ONC)1, only 42% of hospitals reported that they send summary of care documents to most or all external hospitals, and 38% reported that they send that information to most or all external ambulatory care providers.
