This study of 579 state hospital patients charts the pattern of their care in the community in the two or three years following hospital discharge, and examines the relationship of aftercare services to readmission rates. Findings suggest that, among the most chronic patients, a substantial number of aftercare visits may be related to lower hospital readmission rates.
这项针对579名州立医院患者的研究记录了他们出院后两到三年内在社区的护理模式,并考察了后续护理服务与再入院率之间的关系。研究结果表明,在慢性病最严重的患者中,大量的后续护理访视可能与较低的医院再入院率有关。
