Australian and New Zealand Society for Geriatric Medicine position statement no. 15 discharge planning.

摘要

Discharge planning is an important component in ensuring that there is a smooth transition from hospital to home for older patients. These processes are becoming more important as there is an increase in absolute numbers of patients with multiple chronic and disabling conditions. The ANZSGM recommends that these guidelines be taken into account in order to ensure appropriate care of older patients discharged from hospital.
