Key result
Enhanced discharge planning and hospital-at-home transitional care interventions reduced hospital readmissions in patients with congestive heart failure and general medical populations.
Why the study?
Do transitional care interventions reduce hospital readmissions in mixed and specific patient populations?
Systematic Review
Do transitional care interventions reduce hospital readmissions in mixed and specific patient populations?
Transitional care interventions, particularly those that are comprehensive and extend beyond the hospital stay, are effective at reducing hospital readmissions across various patient populations, including those with heart failure.

Most transitional care models reduce readmissions; extends evidence by identifying ineffective GP/nurse-led variants for targeted implementation.
Kansagara et al. (2015) conducted a systematic review in Congestive heart failure and general medical populations. Transitional care interventions was evaluated on Hospital readmission. Enhanced discharge planning and hospital-at-home transitional care interventions reduced hospital readmissions in patients with congestive heart failure and general medical populations.
