The purpose of this study was to evaluate the occurrence of medication discrepancies during transitional care home visits and the association with emergency department (ED) visits. Using secondary data analysis, the relationships between in-home medication discrepancies and 30- and 90-day ED utilization were examined. For every in-home medication discrepancy, the odds of being admitted to the ED within 90 days increased by 31%. This brief intervention could add a valuable component to post-hospital transition management.
本研究的目的是评估过渡性护理家访期间用药差异的发生情况以及与急诊科就诊的关联。通过二次数据分析，研究了家庭用药差异与30天和90天急诊科利用率之间的关系。每出现一次家庭用药差异，90天内入住急诊科的几率就会增加31%。这种简短干预可为出院后过渡管理增添有价值的内容。
