Patient discharge is not a new research topic. Numerous studies have shown patients do not always receive the services they need on leaving hospital. The purpose of this study was to examine the process of discharge and move away from the snapshot study of discharge outcomes. Interviews were undertaken with elderly patients, their carers and the hospital and community staff involved in their care. A content analysis of the data revealed a distinctive discharge process which started with admission and ended with the patient leaving hospital. Discharge planning was highlighted as a separate component of this process. A number of examples are examined of how vulnerable to breakdown patient discharge can be.
患者出院并非一个新的研究课题。众多研究表明，患者出院时并不总是能得到他们所需的服务。本研究的目的是审视出院过程，并摆脱对出院结果的即时性研究。我们对老年患者、他们的护理人员以及参与其护理的医院和社区工作人员进行了访谈。对数据的内容分析揭示了一个独特的出院过程，该过程始于入院，终于患者出院。出院计划被视为这一过程中的一个独立组成部分。文中考察了一些关于患者出院可能多么容易出现问题的实例。
