BACKGROUND Adverse events occur when patients transition from the hospital to outpatient care. For quality improvement and research purposes, clinicians need appropriate, reliable, and valid survey instruments to measure and improve the discharge processes. OBJECTIVE The object was to describe psychometric properties of the Brief PREPARED (B-PREPARED) instrument to measure preparedness for hospital discharge from the patient's perspective. METHODS The study was a prospective cohort of 460…

TLDR
Although the three instruments had acceptable validity and reliability, they showed limited criterion validity and patients with limited health literacy should be supported to ensure the quality of transitional care.
Monitoring Psychiatric Patients’ Preparedness for Hospital Discharge
TLDR
This study spotlighted psychosocial variables in readmission risk for a psychiatric population and introduced a conceptualization of preparedness that included patient understanding of their discharge plan, as well as hope for change and supportive relationships.
Patient and Caregiver Preparedness for Discharge from the Internal Medicine Wards of the University of the Philippines – Philippine General Hospital
TLDR
Although most participants reported being confident and prepared for discharge, most felt they did not receive sufficient information on side effects and available community services, and assistance in arranging for the necessary equipment for home care.
Readiness for Hospital Discharge Scale for older people: psychometric testing and short form development with a three country sample.
TLDR
The revised three factor structure of the Readiness for Hospital Discharge Scale for Older People in long and short forms more adequately assesses core components of discharge readiness in the older adult population than the original adult form.

Preparedness for hospital discharge and prediction of readmission.
TLDR
The B-PREPARED score was more strongly associated with readmission or death than the more widely adopted CTM-3, but neither predicted readmission as well as the LACE index.
Improving Care Transitions: The Patient Perspective
TLDR
Patients—particularly those with limited health literacy—found a hospital pharmacist-based intervention to be very helpful and empowering.
Not ready, not set…discharge: Patient-reported barriers to discharge readiness at an academic medical center.
TLDR
How often patient-reported barriers to discharge on admission were resolved by discharge was determined and associations between barriers and readmission were explored to suggest an opportunity for improved discharge planning and a framework for communication between providers and patients.
Comparing Patients’ Opinions on the Hospital Discharge Process Collected With a Self-Reported Questionnaire Completed Via the Internet or Through a Telephone Survey: An Ancillary Study of the SENTIPAT Randomized Controlled Trial
TLDR
Results indicate that conducting such surveys via the Internet yields similar estimates to those obtained via a telephone survey, and support the establishment of a permanent dedicated website that could also be used to obtain users’ opinions on other aspects of their hospital stay and follow-up.
Patient and physician perceptions after software-assisted hospital discharge: cluster randomized trial.
TLDR
Discharge software with CPOE caused small improvements in discharge perceptions by patients and their outpatient physicians, and these small improvements might balance the difficulty perceived by hospital physicians who used discharge software.

TLDR
The patient and carer versions of PREPARED offers a comprehensive way of closing the quality improvement loop, by providing information from the community perspective on the quality of planning for discharge from the acute hospital setting.
Psychometric Properties of the Readiness for Hospital Discharge Scale
TLDR
The psychometrics properties of the Readiness for Hospital Discharge Scale, a 23-item instrument that measures patients’ perception of readiness for discharge, supported the 4-factor structure and construct validity of the instrument.
Assessing the Quality of Preparation for Posthospital Care from the Patient's Perspective: The Care Transitions Measure
TLDR
The Care Transitions Measure not only provides meaningful, patient-centered insight into the quality of care transitions, but because of the association between CTM scores and undesirable utilization outcomes, it also provides information that may be useful to clinicians, hospital administrators, quality improvement entities, and third party payers.
The Satisfaction with Information about Medicines Scale (SIMS): a new measurement tool for audit and research
TLDR
The SIMS performed well on a number of psychometric indicators and shows promise as a tool for audit, research, research (evaluating current or new forms of information provision), and clinical practice (identifying the information needs of individual patients and as an aid to planning medicine related consultations).
A Patient-Centered Model of Care for Hospital Discharge
TLDR
Initial evidence for the efficacy of future interventions in designing care as seen through the eyes of the patient is provided by patients' knowledge of their home-going needs, their relative importance, and their active involvement in the discharge process.
Deficits in communication and information transfer between hospital-based and primary care physicians: implications for patient safety and continuity of care.
TLDR
Interventions such as computer-generated summaries and standardized formats may facilitate more timely transfer of pertinent patient information to primary care physicians and make discharge summaries more consistently available during follow-up care.
Discharge planning from hospital to home.
TLDR
The effects of discharge planning on readmission rates were mixed, and there was no evidence that discharge planning reduced health care costs; however few studies conducted a formal economic analysis.
Review of the literature on survey instruments used to collect data on hospital patients' perceptions of care.
TLDR
It would be beneficial to use a standardized survey instrument, along with standardization of the sampling, administration protocol, and mode of administration, in assessing patient perceptions of hospital care.
Written and verbal information versus verbal information only for patients being discharged from acute hospital settings to home.
TLDR
The combination of verbal and written health information enables the provision of standardised care information to patients and/or significant others, which appears to improve knowledge and satisfaction.
Adverse events among medical patients after discharge from hospital.
TLDR
Almost one-quarter of patients in this study had an AE after hospital discharge, and half of the AEs were preventable or ameliorable.
