Summary
The transition from hospital to home is a vulnerable time as patients may have changes in medications or care needs, or difficulties accessing follow up with an outpatient provider. Authors conducted a prospective intervention study of children with medical complexity discharged at a children’s hospital from April 2018 to March 2020. To reduce adverse events (AE), rehospitalizations, and emergency department visits, this hospital developed a structured discharge bundle based on the I-PASS tool used for inpatient handoffs. AE, rehospitalisations, and emergency department visits were all reduced following implementation of the I-PASS bundle.
