Abstract
In Brief
Focus on transition of care from outpatient to inpatient and back to an outpatient setting should be a priority in the fragmented health care system. Inpatient care coordinators, along with an interdisciplinary team from varying settings along the care continuum, can be instrumental in ensuring smooth,safe, and quality transitions. This, in turn, provides an avenue to ensure that patients are educated, adherent, and involved in their own health along the continuum of diabetes care.
