Patient Discharge

04/01/2011 - "Are home assessments beneficial in discharge planning following a stroke? "
03/20/2014 - "There was one major stroke; in another patient, discharge mean aortic gradient was 22 mmHg (above the primary endpoint threshold of 20 mmHg), but improved to 15 mmHg at 30 days. "
11/01/2009 - "We sought to evaluate whether comprehensive postdischarge care management for stroke survivors is superior to organized acute stroke department care with enhanced discharge planning in improving a profile of health and well-being. "

09/01/2001 - "Standards of assessment, rehabilitation, and discharge planning improved equally on stroke units and general wards, but in many aspects remained poor (41% formal cognitive assessment, 46% weighed once during admission, 67% physiotherapy assessment within 72 hours, 24% plan documented for mood disturbance, 36% carers' needs assessed separately). "

09/01/2010 - "After the implementation of an evidence-based guideline reminder card, medication treatment for acute asthma in the ED was significantly improved; however, asthma education and discharge planning remained unchanged. "
02/01/2016 - "This study tested the efficacy of a nurse-led discharge planning program for childhood asthma management, based on transition theory. "
10/01/1999 - "In this study we used data on hospital admissions for asthma from the Swedish National Patient Discharge Registers in Stockholm, Malmö and Gothenburg 1990-1994 to identify social and ethnic characteristics of children 2-18-y-old in need of improvement in disease management. "
02/01/2016 - "Efficacy of a Transition Theory-Based Discharge Planning Program for Childhood Asthma Management."
12/01/2007 - "Improved approaches to care, discharge planning and subsequent management were introduced based on the BTS/SIGN guideline for asthma management. "

01/01/2005 - "The critical care nurse's role is to better QOL by improving the ICU survivor's transition into the post-ICU period through improved mobility, good management of sedation, pain, sleep and, most importantly, discharge planning."
01/01/2017 - "Improved nursing documentation was found for 23 items (N = 37), which was significant for nine items focusing mobility (p = 0.002, p = 0.024, p = 0.012), pain (p = 0.012), patient teaching (p = 0.001, p = 0.000) and discharge planning (p = 0.000, p = 0.002, p = 0.004). "
01/01/2016 - "Pain (visual analog scale and temporal relationship) and discharge (patient reported and clinician observed) were associated with increased lesion severity, and duration with reduced severity. "
01/01/1983 - "Thus early rigid stabilization of the patient who sustains a pelvic ring fracture facilitates diminution of fracture pain, early mobilization of the patient, discharge, improved morale, and ultimately, decreased fracture morbidity and mortality."
01/01/2023 - "Further studies are needed to discern whether consistent PMI use can minimize the disparities in pain control and discharge planning between LEP and English-proficient (EP) patients. "

12/18/2015 - "Although acute care HPs do engage in required discharge planning for people with dementia, participants identified critical issues: pressure on acute care health professionals to discharge PWD early, the requirement for JMOs to complete discharge summaries, the demand for post discharge services for PWD exceeding supply, the need to modify post discharge medication prescriptions for PWD, the need for improved coordination with RACF, and the need for routine provision of medication dose decision aids and home medicine reviews post discharge for PWD and their carers."
01/01/2017 - "We identify potentially effective solutions for the problems we encountered: adoption of dementia-sensitive and patient- and family-centered care, improved communication, better management of information (including better systems for monitoring lab results and for dispensing and reconciling medications), expediting care, changing reimbursement and regulation, and improving discharge planning and placement."
01/01/2015 - "It may be helpful in expanding our knowledge in areas where research evidence is poor such as experiences of hospital discharge planning for the family carers of people with dementia. "
08/01/2011 - "CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATIONS; Discharge planning processes for family carers of people with dementia could be substantially improved. "
08/01/2023 - "Therefore, this study sought to understand the factors related to the discharge planning process for patients with dementia.Methods"

03/01/2013 - "Experience with caring for patients with terminal cancer was positively related to improvement in the decision of "truth telling is helpful to a good death." In addition, improvement in the perception of "compassionate care" was correlated with higher improvement in the decision of "discharge planning and home care." Compassion-focused training program can be helpful to improve medical students' competence in making more appropriate ethical decisions in end-of-life care."
09/01/2012 - "The application of awake craniotomy to the field of neuro-oncology has decreased iatrogenic postoperative neurological deficits, allowed for safe maximal tumor resection and improved healthcare resource stewardship by permitting early patient discharge. "
01/01/2024 - "The integrated analysis results indicated that the care transition can be improved by an educational process during discharge planning, implementation of protocols for patients with neoplasia of the digestive tract, and identification of a reference caregiver to help patients navigate the healthcare system."
07/01/2023 - "A search was carried out in the MEDLINE databases, via Pubmed, Embase, and Virtual Health Library, using the following descriptors: "Patient Discharge", "Pharmacists", "Neoplasms." Studies that reported activities performed by the pharmacist at the hospital discharge of patients with cancer were included. "
06/22/2022 - "This study aimed to investigate the relationships between general ward nurses' practice of discharge planning for end-stage cancer patients, self-efficacy, ethical behavior, attitude, knowledge and experience, perceived skills, and perceived barriers. "
