Findings from a sample (n = 117) obtained through a survey mailed to a random sampling of social workers in home health agencies nation-wide suggest that the characteristics of patients discharged with unmet needs were psychosocial. Social work practice activities targeted transferring responsibility for care for patients from agencies and government/commercial third party payers to informal caregivers and community resources. Desired continuing education topics evidence the emphasis on effective interventions that facilitate discharge, interdisciplinary collaboration and practice evaluation.
通过向全国范围内家庭健康机构的社会工作者随机抽样邮寄调查问卷获得的样本（n = 117）结果表明，未满足需求出院患者的特征是社会心理方面的。社会工作实践活动旨在将患者护理责任从机构和政府/商业第三方支付方转移到非正式护理人员和社区资源。所需的继续教育主题证明了对促进出院、跨学科合作和实践评估的有效干预措施的重视。
