May inform discharge planning for older adults; leaves open prospective validation of readmission prediction.
Observational (n=998)

A revised three-factor structure of the Readiness for Hospital Discharge Scale for Older People (in 17-item and 9-item forms) adequately assesses core components of discharge readiness and is associated with readmission risk.
Mabire et al. (2015) conducted an observational in medical-surgical older patients (n=998). Readiness for Hospital Discharge Scale for Older People was evaluated on Factor structure and model fit of the Readiness for Hospital Discharge Scale. A revised 17-item, three-factor structure of the Readiness for Hospital Discharge Scale for Older People provided the best model fit, with lower scores associated with readmission risk.
