A 'plethora of services' but a lack of consistency: A qualitative study of service providers' perspectives about transitioning from hospital to home for older South Australians

Jesmin Rupa et al.

Summary: This study explored the perspectives of professionals in health and aged care services in South Australia on factors influencing successful transitions for older people from hospital to home or residential aged care. The study found that navigating service provision was difficult due to different funding arrangements and over-reliance on the hospital sector. Good communication between services and sectors was highlighted as important. Categories of services that supported safe transitions were identified. The study concludes that careful planning and coordination of services are needed to support older people in the months following hospital discharge to reduce avoidable rehospitalisations.
