Associations Between Successful Home Discharge and Posthospitalization Care Planning: Cross-Sectional Ecological Study
The provision of posthospitalization care planning is associated with an increased likelihood of discharge to home, underscoring its importance in care transitions.

Further research is needed to clarify causal mechanisms.
