“…The evidence emphasizes that medical information must be transferred accurately, systematically and coherently, so that this information can be considered as a directing map for the receiving center (Thraen, Bair, Mullin, & Weir, 2012). Obviously, knowledge on the standard methods of providing medical history and having a common vision can help to solve the barrier of contradictory information.…”

Background & Objectives:The patient transfer is multidisciplinary process and communication and information exchange are crucial for its successful accomplishment. The purpose of this study was to identify barriers that negatively influence communication and information exchange during the patient transfer between hospitals and the Center for Treatment Guidance and Information (CTGI) and to describe their consequences. Methods:A qualitative study based on Focus Group Discussion (FGD) and semi-structured interviews were conducted. Three FGDs were carried out with 5 experts with years of experience working in the CTGI and 25 interviews with individuals involved in patient transfer process. Data were analyzed using content analysis method.Findings: Three major themes including poor communication and information exchange at the CTGI, referring hospital, and receiving hospital were identified. The most important sub-themes at the level of CTGI were: the unavailability of accurate patient medical history and lack of confidence and different working process for patient admission in hospitals. At the level of referring hospital they were incomplete medical history, medical documents, vague patient transfer indications and lack of effective communication. At the level of receiving hospital they were lack of providing feedback, lack of mutual communication and incorrect report of available beds. Also four major consequences of poor communication and information exchange were identified which are managerial, clinical, economic and social consequences. Conclusions:To overcome the barriers, there is a need for proper monitoring by accountable organizations, reviewing the protocols for patient transfer, an increase in inter-sector collaboration and improvement in communications infrastructure and collection of data.

“…El eje de la atención en el usuario mediante la competencia de cuidar en el hogar aporta a los estudios de conceptualización de los elementos que debe tener un plan de egreso hospitalario y apoya el cuidado en un momento de alta vulnerabilidad para el paciente y su cuidador familiar como es el egreso hospitalario (26)(27)(28)(29). Las pautas para fortalecer la competencia de cuidar en el hogar pueden ser un aporte singular para cualificar la práctica.…”

Objetivo: Diseñar y validar una metodología para implementar el “Plan de egreso hospitalario” como mecanismo de apoyo en el cuidado de la salud de personas con enfermedad crónica (EC) y sus cuidadores familiares (CF) en Colombia.Metodología: Estudio de tipo descriptivo cuyo desarrollo contó con los siguientes pasos:1) Consolidación de una guía. 2) Validación del proceso propuesto para la implementación del “Plan de egreso hospitalario”. 3) Prueba piloto de implementación. Resultados: Con base en el estado del arte y la definición de pasos del cuidado que se requieren para el alta hospitalaria se propone una guía de acción basada en la revisión de las condiciones de la institución hospitalaria y en el nivel de competencia para el cuidado en el hogar de los usuarios, buscando garantizar un cuidado continuo y seguro al salir de la institución. Conclusiones: La Metodología utilizada para desarrollar el “Plan de egreso hospitalario” para personas con enfermedad crónica en Colombia que se elaboró y validó en el presente estudio aporta elementos conceptuales y de procedimiento para implementar y sistematizar un programa de alta hospitalaria con base en el fortaleciendo de las condiciones institucionales y de la competencia de cuidado por parte de las personas con EC y sus CF. Dicha metodología constituye una herramienta para ayudar a disminuir la carga del cuidado de la EC en Colombia.

“…These findings underline the need for training on how to discuss topics, such as autonomy, goals, and shared care. 4,16,29,30 The number of older patients with multiple problems calls urgently for well-organised health care at local and regional levels that takes special account of patients' views and priorities to stimulate patient empowerment and patient-centredness. Further improvement is needed in health care for older people and research should focus on these requirements.…”
