Discharge From Hospital

ABSTRACT Objective: to recognize the role of nurses to maintain continuity of care for users after hospital discharge. Method: an exploratory, descriptive study with a qualitative approach. The study was applied at hospital discharge originating from the most complex health center in Magallanes, the Hospital Clinico Magallanes, Chile. Data were collected through interviews with nurses, carried out between May and August 2018. To analyze the material, the content analysis technique was used. Results: three categories emerged, which bring together what nurses mention in their discourse: How they see the implementation of hospital nursing services, which facilitate continuity of care in the healthcare network of discharged patients (known as care networks); Who they identify in the nursing service for continuity of care after discharge (care networks), which these nursing professionals make and suggestions for their performance; and How care networks affect users in continuity of care after discharge. Conclusion: the role of nurses is key in patient discharge from hospital. With autonomy and competencies for comprehensive care, professionals facilitate the healthcare transition; manage hospital discharge, convening the institutional nursing network and the emerging networks with primary health care; aspire to develop strategies for an inter-level care network, with systematic participation.

Law Commission

This article examines the compensating benefits which may be taken into account to reduce the amount which a plaintiff may claim for the costs of care in English law. The concern is not with payments of money to the plaintiff, but with savings resulting either from the plaintiff receiving care free of charge, or from paying for a comprehensive care package which saves on the living expenses which the plaintiff would otherwise have had to meet. These compensating benefits therefore include the gratuitous care and nursing provided by family and friends at home; and the care provided in a hospital, nursing home or other institution, when board and lodging is then also supplied. Similar policy issues arise no matter whether the plaintiff is provided with money to purchase care (eg an attendance allowance) or is provided with that care directly and free of charge. There is no necessary distinction between, on the one hand, the provision of free medical and hospital treatment and, on the other, the reimbursement of medical expenses through the mechanism of insurance.1 Although in its present review of damages the Law Commission treat gratuitous nursing services as distinct from “collateral benefits,” it accepts that if the plaintiff is seen as incurring a need for services and this constitutes an initial pecuniary loss, the question of whether to deduct the value of the services as a collateral benefit does then arise.2 This article examines the basic rules relevant to such deduction, but it begins by considering the effect upon damages of the existence of free health care under the NHS.
