Abstract

A method of building bridges--in terms of therapy and care--between the life of the elderly before, during, and after a stay in hospital is described in this randomized, controlled study from a Copenhagen suburb. A project nurse employed by the City called at the Hospital each day and followed the members of this group concerning the need to gather information from primary care, discuss discharge with the patient and the nursing staff, co-ordinate possible supportive measures in the home, and immediately after the discharge to make a home visit to ensure continuity of care and treatment.
