Abstract

A discharge report (IREA) on all patients was filled out by the nursing staff in our units during this last year. A descriptive study was carried out, throughout a self-elaborate questionnaire, to assess the overall acceptance of this report by all persons involved, both at the hospital and primary care levels, in order to introduce changes aimed at improving the coordination between those levels.

The results showed that IREA is a necessary tool which provides useful information on patients to receiving primary care personnel, and strengthens the professional role of nurses.
