Summary

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).

Conditions
