Early Screen for Discharge Planning in Community Hospitals

Completed

Conditions studied: Hospitalization

In brief

The purpose of this study is to determine the predictive performance of the Early Screen for Discharge Planning (ESDP) tool in a regional community hospital. The central hypothesis is that the ESDP differentiates between patients in a regional community hospital who would benefit from those who would not benefit from early discharge-planning intervention as measured by problems and unmet continuing care needs, quality of life, length of stay, and referrals to post-acute services.
