Care Transitions QIOSC
The Care Transitions Quality Improvement Organization Support Center (QIOSC) assists Medicare Quality Improvement Organizations (QIOs) to promote seamless transitions from the hospital to home, skilled nursing care, or home health care.
The Care Transitions Learning Sessions are back in session!
Check out the Learning Sessions page for upcoming calls and recordings of all of the past calls.
