[Joint nursing report of discharge. Quality improvement program for care of post-hospitalized patients].
The author describes the development and practice of program whose purpose is to increase the quality of at home care for post-hospitalized patients and to improve the relationship between Primary Health Care Centers and Specialized Health Care Centers. To this end, a Combined Report for a Certificate of Being Cured has been developed. As this program has been established and developed, its results have improved: More patients who leave the Hospital with a certificate of being cured are registered in Primary Health Care Centers in order to carry out the necessary treatment they require. As time passes, there is a higher degree of identification of the Hospital Service and the Health Center, as well as the Nursing Professional, so that there may be bilateral communication (Hospital/Center to Health-Center to Health/Hospital). Nursing care for this type of patient is becoming quicker all the time especially if we bear in mind the date of the hospital certificate of being cured and the contact date between the patient and the primary Health Center after the patient's release from the hospital.
