Study Summary
The goal of NEEDS is to systematically identify patients' needs and resources at home to inform discharge planning by health care teams. We believe the process of conducting such an assessment during hospitalization will integrate the patient's voice and improve patient outcomes by improving the team communication, quality of discharge planning, length of stay, post-discharge outcomes (e.g., satisfaction), and readmissions.
Primary Outcome
Comparison of baseline and intervention average score on the Readiness for Hospital Discharge Scale, analyzed at the unit and hospital level. There are 8 questions on the RHDS, each scored from 0-10, with 0 indicating not being ready for discharge at all and 10 indicating being totally ready for discharge. Higher scores indicate better outcomes. The RHDS is administered to patients and the clinical care teams at the time that the patient receives the green light for discharge.
