SANCHEZ, Beatriz; CARRILLO, Gloria Mabel and BARRERA, Lucy. TRANSITION AND DISCHARGE HOSPITAL PLANNING AND ITS EFFECT IN HEALTH CARE: AN INTEGRATED REVIEW. rev.udcaactual.divulg.cient. [online]. 2014, vol.17, n.1, pp.13-23. ISSN 0123-4226.
Through an integrated review that included randomized clinical trials search, descriptive studies, association studies, systematic reviews, meta-analyzes and meta-synthesis in databases such as Medline, ScienceDirect, Ovid and Scielo low exit descriptors or Transition Plan cross with Effective, comprehensive Care, and Care continuing, Care insurance in the period 1997-2013, the literature on transition plan and hospital discharge, their components, their functions and the existence of evidence of its effects on health care was explored. As a result, 52 references were found and analyzed, classified into four groups according to their emphasis: 1) Lack of clear guidelines and incentives to advance the retirement plan, 2) Development of tools to support the assessment and measurement within the retirement plan 3) the basic features that should have a retirement plan or its theoretical development and 4) Effective discharge and transition plan for ongoing care hospital, and comprehensive insurance patients and their families. With this, it can be concluded that there is an ample literature on the transition plan and hospital discharge, reflecting a heterogeneous level opposite specific guidelines to put forward these plans, although this management to the benefit of users is recommended. The evidence on the effectiveness of a care plan development as a fundamental part of a continual, assured and comprehensive care of the patients and their families is limited. In this field studies of the predictive type are recommended.
