Abstract:
This research study aims to investigate the impact of nurse-led discharge planning on reducing hospital readmissions. Hospital readmissions pose a significant burden on healthcare systems and patients alike, leading to increased healthcare costs and compromised patient outcomes. Nurse-led discharge planning interventions have shown promise in improving transitional care and reducing readmission rates. This study will explore the effectiveness of nurse-led discharge planning strategies, identify key components of successful interventions, and assess their impact on reducing hospital readmissions. The findings of this research will contribute to the development of evidence-based practices in discharge planning and inform healthcare policies aimed at improving patient outcomes and reducing healthcare costs.
