“…In our study, the rationale provided by one member of the hospital team for not communicating social information to GPs was that they already knew this information. However, Calman & Murdoch (1974) considered this assumption unjustified and that GPs may have wished to make comments, particularly in relation to the home situation for terminally ill patients. In a review of discharge forms and hospital summaries, Finau (1986) found that social information had been omitted in 98.1% and 94.7% of cases respectively.…”

“…Other studies have found that if information transfer is not timely it is of limited value to the GP (Calman & Murdoch 1974;Long & Atkins 1974;Mageean 1986;Harding 1987;Adams et al 1993;Bolton et al 1998;van der Kam et al 1998;Farquhar et al 2002;Farquhar et al 2005). We found that GPs expressed a desire to receive information on the same day or the next day post discharge via the discharge summary.…”

Many early studies (Calman & Murdoch 1974;Bado & Williams 1984;Adams, Bristol & Poskitt 1993) cite information relating to the social aspects of patient care as being missing from the communications; for example, what the patient had been told about the diagnosis, treatment and prognosis. However, in contrast, a study by Newton, Eccles and Hutchinson (1992) found a parallel between the information provided to GPs and their information needs, including what the patient had been told.…”

“…My experience as a professor of oncology, again in 1974, taught me that it was very unusual for the patient to have been told of the diagnosis before referral. 4 Things have now changed dramatically, and for the better. Patients are seen as full partners in the process and informed and involved in decision making.…”
