Assignment task:
1. Review the Resources on systems thinking, particularly the Arnold & Wade article. Consider how you would define systems thinking.
2. Select a macrosystem-level transition of care (e.g., hospital to nursing home, skilled nursing facility to home care) for this Discussion.
3. Review the Institute for Healthcare Improvement (IHI) resources, familiarizing yourself with the Quadruple Aim.
Describe systems thinking. Briefly describe the macrosystem-level transition of care you selected. Identify two points of care across the care continuum at this transition and briefly describe two strategies/inventions that nurse leaders could implement to align interventions for safe, quality care transitions with the IHI Quadruple Aim. Be specific and provide examples.
