An observational study of older patients' participation in hospital admission and discharge--exploring patient and next of kin perspectives.

Aims And Objectives: To explore older patients' participation during hospital admission and discharge.

Background: Patient participation is suggested as a means to improve the quality of transitional healthcare. Older people with chronic diseases, physical disabilities and cognitive impairments often need to transfer from primary to hospital healthcare and vice versa.

Hospital discharge of the elderly--an observational case study of functions, variability and performance-shaping factors.

Background: Understanding and improving hospital discharge has assumed major importance since it represents an error-prone transition in care. One barrier to improvement is the lack of detailed understanding of how hospital discharge is organized, including its interdependencies and influential performance-shaping factors (PSFs). This study examines the discharge of elderly patients using the Functional Resonance Analysis Method, developed to analyze performance variability in complex systems.

Quality in transitional care of the elderly: Key challenges and relevant improvement measures.

Introduction: Elderly people aged over 75 years with multifaceted care needs are often in need of hospital treatment. Transfer across care levels for this patient group increases the risk of adverse events. The aim of this paper is to establish knowledge of quality in transitional care of the elderly in two Norwegian hospital regions by identifying issues affecting the quality of transitional care and based on these issues suggest improvement measures.

Quality and safety in transitional care of the elderly: the study protocol of a case study research design (phase 1).

Introduction: Although international studies have documented that patients' transitions between care providers are associated with the risk of adverse events and uncoordinated care, research directed towards the quality and safety of transitional care between primary and secondary health and care services, especially for the elderly receiving care from multiple healthcare providers due to complex health problems, is lacking. This study investigates how different aspects of transitional care can explain the quality and safety of elderly healthcare services in Norway. The overall aim of the study was to explore different aspects of transitional care of the elderly, in different contexts and how they might explain the quality and safety of care.

Interventions to improve patient safety in transitional care--a review of the evidence.

When a patient's transition from the hospital to home is less than optimal, the repercussions can be far-reaching - hospital readmission, adverse medical events, and even mortality. Elderly, especially frail older patients with complex health care problems appear to be a group particularly at risk for adverse events in general, and during transitions across health providers in particular. We undertook a systematic review to identify interventions designed to improve patient safety during transitional care of the elderly, with a particular focus on discharge interventions.
