Experiences of elderly patients regarding participation in their hospital discharge: A qualitative metasummary

BMJ Open Nov 10, 2019

Lilleheie I, et al. - Through a qualitative metasummary, researchers investigated reported evidence about the experiences of elderly people aged 65 years and above concerning their participation in the hospital discharge process. The analysis designated that participation in the discharge process differed among old patients. Collaboration between various levels in the health systems and user-friendly information between staff, patient and families were significant. For this patient group, the complexity of person participation should be acknowledged to improve user involvement during discharge from the hospital. Interventions or follow-up studies of how healthcare professionals could enhance their communication skills and discuss the tension between client-centered goals and organizational preferences are demanded. Moreover, to ensure the participation of old people, the organizational structure may need to be restructured.
