Frontloading of skilled nursing visits is one way home health providers have attempted to reduce hospital readmissions among skilled home health patients. Upon review of the frontloading evidence, visit intensity emerged as being closely related. This state of the science presents a critique and synthesis of the published empirical evidence related to frontloading and visit intensity. OVID/Medline, PubMed, and Scopus were searched. Seven studies were eligible for inclusion. Further research is required to define frontloading and visit intensity, identify patients most likely to benefit, and to provide a better understanding of how home health agencies can best implement these strategies.
熟练护理访视的前置安排是家庭健康服务提供者试图减少熟练家庭健康患者再次住院率的一种方式。在审查前置安排的证据时，访视频率与之密切相关。这一科学现状对已发表的与前置安排和访视频率相关的实证证据进行了批判和综合。检索了OVID/Medline、PubMed和Scopus。七项研究符合纳入标准。需要进一步的研究来定义前置安排和访视频率，确定最有可能受益的患者，并更好地理解家庭健康机构如何才能最好地实施这些策略。
