Effect of discharge conference on rehospitalization among older patients: An analysis of administrative claims data in Japan

“…The effect of discharge conference on the probability of readmission was not consistent between before and after matching sample. Only at before marching, it showed a reduced odds ratio of readmission, which is accordance with previous studies [3,15], but the estimates of after matching group concluded no signi cant effect. It is well established that discharge planning or a discharge summary has an impact of reducing the rate of hospital readmission for older patients with medical conditions in western countries [2,5,6,[24][25][26][27], but did not reduce 30-day potentially avoidable readmissions after rehabilitation services in Japan [16].…”

Returning to everyday life after discharge from a short-stay unit at the Emergency Department—a qualitative study of elderly patients’ experiences

“…Their expectations for rehabilitation after discharge were mostly positive as they expected to be able to perform daily activities as they used to before they were admitted to the short-stay unit at the ED. This is in line with other studies which suggest that elderly patients admitted for acute illness should be targeted for rehabilitative services after discharge (Boyd et al, 2008;Goncalves-Bradley et al, 2016) The participants' everyday lives were also influenced by thoughts about their health condition as well as concerns for the future. Participants who experienced not being prepared or who did not have their diagnosis clarified felt frustrated and had concerns about whether they would be able to perform daily activities in the long term or if they would experience loss of activities.…”

Effectiveness of Transitional Interventions in Improving Patient Outcomes and Service Use After Discharge From Psychiatric Inpatient Care: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

“…Our results corroborate other reviews on discharge interventions that summarize the evidence of a wide range of interventions (7,21) or focus on either specific patient groups (e.g., depression) (22), settings, or services (e.g., forensic psychiatric services and early discharge) (23,24). Holzinger et al (22) found no significant effects of these interventions on readmission; however, included studies showed a tendency toward intervention effectiveness.…”
