Area of Science:

  • Healthcare Management
  • Nursing Practice
  • Patient Care Coordination

Background:

  • Hospital readmissions represent a significant healthcare burden.
  • Factors contributing to readmissions include early discharge and insufficient post-hospital care.
  • Growing patient complexity and an aging demographic necessitate enhanced discharge planning.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To highlight the critical role of clinical nurse specialists (CNSs) in acute care discharge planning.
  • To discuss models for discharge programs and interventions.
  • To explore integrating discharge interventions into advanced nursing practice.

Main Methods:

  • Review of existing discharge program and intervention models.
  • Analysis of the integration of discharge interventions into advanced practice.
