Improving discharge: the role of the discharge co-ordinator.
Discharge of patients from hospital has in the past been handled haphazardly by healthcare professionals. Co-ordination of this important part of a person's experience of hospital would have psychological and emotional benefits for patients, staff and the NHS as a whole. In this article, the author describes the role of the discharge co-ordinator in planning strategically for patient discharge. In a second article, to follow shortly, the author discusses how multidisciplinary liaison can be improved.
Continuity of Patient Care↗
Continuity of care for older people.
Older people transferring from NHS hospitals to independent sector nursing homes need continuity of care. However, nurses in the NHS and independent sectors are often out of touch with each other. In the second of two articles on discharge and older people, the author discusses the need for education, assessment and effective communication to help nurses, wherever they work, to provide effective care for elderly people. The author describes an assessment scale for physical and mental abilities, developed to assist the transfer process. The first article was published in Nursing Standard (Nazarko 1998).
