Context:

Discharge planning (DP) is crucial for patient continuity of care.
Interprofessional collaboration between nurses and physicians is essential for effective DP.
Existing knowledge gaps in DP among healthcare professionals require investigation.

Purpose:

To assess and compare the knowledge levels of nurses and physicians regarding discharge planning.
To identify specific knowledge deficits and differences between these professional groups in Germany.
To evaluate understanding across conceptual and procedural aspects of DP.

Summary:

A knowledge test on DP, covering time aspects, responsibilities, legalities, and follow-up care, was administered to 177 participants.
Physicians demonstrated satisfactory knowledge (70%), while nursing staff showed sufficient knowledge (60%).
Significant differences were observed in conceptual and procedural DP knowledge, with physicians outperforming nurses in task allocation.

Impact:

Findings indicate that neither nurses nor physicians possess adequate knowledge for independent discharge planning.
Highlights a need for enhanced interprofessional education and training programs.
Suggests potential improvements in patient outcomes through targeted knowledge enhancement in DP.
