This implementation guide can assist patient and families in the use of the TMF Hospital Admission and Discharge guides to help improve patient safety and increase patient satisfaction.

This one-page audit tool prompts clinical or quality staff members to review a list of factors commonly attributed to preventable hospital readmissions. The review can help you understand the kinds of barriers patients, families, and providers face during preparation of discharge to the post-hospital transitional care period and the circumstances leading patients to return to the hospital.

Identifying patients who are at high risk for readmission while still in the inpatient setting can allow for effective interventions to be implemented before the patient is discharged. Clinical academics have developed a clinical risk index, READMIT, to assess the likelihood of readmissions within 30 days of hospital discharge for psychiatric inpatients.

Use this form for patients being readmitted to psychiatric care to determine the factors leading to readmission.
