Transition Care for People with Catheters in Hospitals and in Their Homes
This collaborative project sought to develop a more coherent approach to patient and carer needs, as patients move between acute and community settings with catheters in situ.
Outcomes included development of a comprehensive client discharge and referral resource incorporating procedures for data collection, documentation, education and referral, and development of a model of best practice.
