title: [The discharge coordinator nurse, the missing link in emergency departments].
abstract: The organisation of the discharge of patients from emergency departments is time-consuming and a source of stress. At Limoges general hospital, in order to improve the conditions in which patients are managed and to relieve some of the work of other professionals, a post of discharge coordinator nurse was created and has significantly reduced the malfunctions within the department.
