Rockville, MD: Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality; April 2010. AHRQ Publication No. 10-0059.
This guide provides patients with information they need to care for themselves after leaving the hospital. The tool was developed based on findings from the AHRQ-funded initiative Project RED (Re-Engineered Discharge), which showed that patient-centered discharge planning can improve patient safety and reduce re-hospitalization rates.
