“…Assessing care tem and patients' families' perspectives about the continuity of care in this model is another dimension of the role of transitional care model in enhancing patients' health. Changes in the time of first re-hospitalization, total number of hospitalizations, and number of days hospitalized after the use of this model are other reasons for this model's benefits and the necessity of investment for widespread use of this model (4,8,24).…”

“…Accordingly, new care approaches that pursue three main objectives of enhancing the patients' experience, improving community health, and reducing costs are needed (5). In particular, evidence-based transitional care that meets care needs of patient at the time of hospitalization is an accepted approach that is emphasized in the chronically ill and the elderly (6)(7)(8). One of the approaches tested in this regard is transitional care model that promotes the health of patients with chronic diseases and has a positive economic effect on the patient and family (9)(10)(11).…”

Introduction: Design and use of effective strategies to improve care and achieve better results for patients with chronic diseases, reduce the frequency and cost of hospitalization is necessary for these patients. Transitional care model is a new model that have been effective in meeting the needs of these patients. The aim of this mini review study is investigating and describing the various aspects of transitional care model, benefits and core components. Design: The present investigation is a mini review study that conducted with library reading for data collecting. Methods: Scientific database (ISI, Pubmed, Scopus, Sciencedirect) were reviewed for articles related to the transitional care model literature. A total of 80 articles were obtained. Following applying the inclusion criteria (published between 2000 and 2017 in English language among peer-review journals), 5 articles were retained. These articles propose core components of the transitional care model and its benefits. Results: Transitional care model has some benefits, 8 main elements and 7 core components including:

“…As beta-blocker use is associated with access to secondary or specialist care, this may reflect poorer access to secondary care in deprived areas. 33 Alternatively, the socioeconomic differences may be explained by residual confounding due to higher levels of morbidity and contraindications in groups from areas of deprivation. However, a lack of socioeconomic differences in prescribing of non-recommended betablockers argues against this explanation.…”

Treatment with specific beta-blockers reduces mortality and hospitalisation in heart failure. AimTo describe trends and inequities in beta-blocker prescribing for heart failure. Design of studyRepeated cross-sectional analysis of a nationally representative primary care database (DIN-LINK). SettingA total of 152 UK general practices. MethodPrescribing of beta-blockers between 2000 and 2005 was examined among a yearly average of 7294 patients aged ≥50 years who had actively managed heart failure -defined as a recorded diagnosis of heart failure and two prescriptions of an angiotensinconverting enzyme inhibitor or angiotensin receptor blocker during the calendar year. The main outcome was the prescription of a guideline-recommended beta-blocker (bisoprolol, carvedilol, metoprolol, or nebivolol) in the year. Determinants of beta-blocker prescribing were analysed using logistic regression. ResultsBetween 2000 and 2005, age-adjusted use of recommended beta-blockers rose from 6.1% to 27.0% in men, and from 4.2% to 21.5% in women. In 2005, younger patients were more likely to be treated; the fully adjusted odds ratio was 4.83 (95% confidence interval = 3.78 to 6.17) for patients aged 60-64 years compared with those aged 85 years. Women and patients living in areas of socioeconomic deprivation were less likely to be treated. In 2005, in addition to treatment with guideline-recommended beta-blockers, a further 11.7% of men and 12.5% of women were prescribed other beta-blockers. ConclusionRecommended beta-blocker use has risen in the UK but remains low and inequitable, with many patients still treated with beta-blockers that are not recommended in guidelines. This suggests further improvements in prescribing are still possible.
