Patients are at increased risk of adverse events (AE) in the period following hospital discharge. This quality and safety improvement project aimed to reduce post-discharge AE and patient-reported new or worsening symptoms (NWS). The intervention included a patient-facing checklist whose responses were integrated into an electronic health record dashboard. AE were not significantly different between the intervention and usual care groups. NWS were non-significantly higher in the checklist group, which the authors propose may be due to the activating effects of the intervention, prompting patients to be aware of and report symptoms.
