Understanding the influences on hospital discharge decision-making from patient, carer and staff perspectives
Our study highlights the need for a more coordinated approach to discharge decision-making that optimises communication with patients and carers and multidisciplinary workflows and reduces fragmentation. The importance of patient-centred care and a personalised approach to care are well established. However, there is a need to design systems to customise the entirety of the patient journey, including the approach to discharge decision making.
