Comprehensive discharge follow-up in patients' homes by GPs and district nurses of elderly patients. A randomized controlled trial
Research output: Contribution to journal › Journal article › Research › peer-review
Many hospital admissions are due to inappropriate medical treatment, and discharge of fragile elderly patients involves a high risk of readmission. The present study aimed to assess whether a follow-up programme undertaken by GPs and district nurses could improve the quality of the medical treatment and reduce the risk of readmission of elderly newly discharged patients.
