This study evaluated the introduction of a new type of discharge letter (DL). The new DL is hand-written by the discharging doctor on a form, and a copy is both given to the patient and sent immediately to the general practitioner (GP). Questionnaires were sent both to the receiving patients and GPs. One hundred and thirty-four patients (55%) and 157 GPs (87%) replied to the questionnaires. Half of the responding patients stated that the DL had helped them to understand what had happened during their hospital stay, as well as future plans for treatment. A majority of the responding GPs found the hospital stay, the patient's status at discharge and the planned after treatment to be satisfactorily described in the new DLs. Almost all GPs (90%) were pleased with the promptness with which they received the new DL. Compared to the traditional DL, 40% of the responding GPs found the new DL to be better and 29% found it to be worse.
本研究评估了一种新型出院小结（DL）的引入情况。这种新型出院小结由负责出院的医生手写在一张表格上，一份副本会交给患者，并立即发送给全科医生（GP）。研究向接收小结的患者和全科医生都发放了问卷。134名患者（55%）和157名全科医生（87%）回复了问卷。半数回复问卷的患者表示，出院小结帮助他们了解了住院期间发生的情况以及未来的治疗计划。大多数回复问卷的全科医生认为，新型出院小结对住院情况、患者出院时的状况以及计划的后续治疗都描述得令人满意。几乎所有全科医生（90%）都对收到新型出院小结的及时性感到满意。与传统出院小结相比，40%回复问卷的全科医生认为新型出院小结更好，29%的医生认为更差。
