Do communication interventions at discharge reduce hospital readmissions and improve treatment adherence and patient satisfaction?
Communication interventions at hospital discharge facilitate the transition of care by reducing readmissions and improving adherence and satisfaction.
These findings suggest that communication interventions at discharge are significantly associated with fewer hospital readmissions, higher treatment adherence, and higher patient satisfaction and thus are important to facilitate the transition of care.
Becker et al. (Fri,) studied this question.
