Patient transfer from a rehabilitation hospital to an emergency department : a retrospective study of an American trauma center.
To analyze medical indications and conditions for patients transferred from a rehabilitation hospital to an emergency department (ED). Are there differences in terms of which patients go to the ED during their stay and which do not? Specifically, what type of patient is most likely to be transferred? ⋯ The patients transferred from a rehabilitation hospital had complex, intense medical (and often psychological) issues. These patients' medical needs required a high level of resources in the ED. They frequently left the hospital in sub-optimal conditions, making it likely that they would return to the hospital via the ED prior to completing their treatment within the rehabilitation hospital.
