Comparison Between Two Strategies of Discharge Planning for the Reduction

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

Clinical Trial Description

The purpose of this study is to improve discharge planning effectiveness by comparing two strategies [on-Demand Discharge Planning (DDP) vs. Routine Discharge Planning (RDP)], in terms of reduction of hospital readmissions for inpatients classified at intermediate risk of complex discharge using the simplified Blaylock Risk Assessment Screening Score (BRASS). Five Internal Medicine Unit and four Units of Neurology will be randomized to the two different strategies of discharge planning (RDP or DDP), based on two different alternating sequences of four periods (each period comprising three months). The randomization will be stratified by type of unit. Patients at risk of complex discharge, according to the simplified BRASS score, are assigned to the Hospital Unit of Continuity of Care (NOCC) team, using the hospital telematics system. Afterwards, the NOCC team proposes an appropriate discharge planning, considering clinical and social needs. ;
