Abstract:
The transition from hospital to ambulatory care is a high-risk period for patients with diabetes mellitus and is a challenge for health care professionals. Various interprofessional collaborative interventions have shown a positive impact on continuity of care at discharge. Communication and transmission of information between the hospital and ambulatory settings as well as coordination between healthcare professionals are key points to explore and to improve to ensure optimal continuity of care.
