No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine the predictive performance of the Early Screen for Discharge Planning (ESDP) tool in a regional community hospital. The central hypothesis is that the ESDP differentiates between patients in a regional community hospital who would benefit from those who would not benefit from early discharge-planning intervention as measured by problems and unmet continuing care needs, quality of life, length of stay, and referrals to post-acute services.

Early Screen for Discharge Planning

This screen is completed by a study coordinator within 24 hours of patient admission to the hospital. The screen measures four variables available from routine hospital admission clinical data (walking limitation, age, living alone prior to admission, and level of disability) that exhibit high sensitivity and specificity (AUC's were .82 and.84) in identifying patients who should receive targeted attention from a DP expert.
