Abstract
This article discusses nurse-led discharge and provides guidance. Robust implementation of nurse-led discharge requires a thorough understanding of the 'discharge planning' process, and also requires educational support, training and achievement of discharge competencies. Without these, nurse-led discharges are at risk of becoming yet another quick-fix remedy for freeing up hospital beds.Entities:
