Construction of the discharge support system based on interprofessional work between hospitals and communities，2015.04 - 2019.03，Construction of the discharge support system based on interprofessional work between hospitals and communities

This research examined the effectiveness of case reviews of discharged patients as a potential component of a discharge support system based on interprofessional work (IPW) between hospitals and communities. In total, 380 ward nurses at three hospitals were assorted into an intervention group, who performed case study meetings for discharged patients, and a control group, who did not. Questionnaires given before and after the intervention investigated at nurses' perceptions of discharge support and related practices. The intervention had mixed results: while case study meetings led to more-frequent discharge support at one hospital, the opposite was true at another, and resulted in no appreciable difference between the groups at the third. Our findings suggest the necessity of taking hospital-specific characteristics into consideration when trying to design a discharge support system.
