Validating performance of a hospital discharge planning decision tool in community hospitals.
The researchers aimed to determine the predictive performance of the Early Screen for Discharge Planning (ESDP) in a rural regional community hospital practice setting. Patients with high ESDP scores reported more problems after discharge, reported lower quality of life, had longer length of stays, and used post-acute care services more than patients with low ESDP scores.
