[Nursing discharge planning: from the viewpoint of patients and necessary consequences for hospital organization].
As the length of time that patients stay in hospital becomes shorter, transitional nursing care will become even more important as one of the concepts of integrated medical care. This means that in Germany, in the years to come, the viewpoint of those receiving this care--i.e. the patients and those closely involved with them--will also become increasingly important. The success of concepts relating to transitional nursing care will depend on how satisfied the patients are and how well they cope with living at home again after their stay in hospital. This article will focus on the sight of patients who received transitional nursing care and describe a evaluation study in Nuremberg/Germany. It is becoming clear that, in order to remain successful in the long term, concepts concerning transitional care will always additionally involve consistent measures in relation to organisational and staff development.
