Description
Yanyan Fan and co-authors set out a protocol for mapping what is known about getting heart failure patients involved in planning their own discharge from hospital. Poor discharge planning sends many of these patients back to hospital within weeks. Their scoping review will sweep twenty databases for studies of any design that describe ways to draw adult patients into discharge decisions, then chart the strategies and the outcomes each study reported.
Two reviewers will screen and extract the evidence independently, and an established framework will organise the findings into patterns, advances, and gaps. No results are included, since the review has not yet been run. The authors expect the map to show clinicians and policymakers which involvement strategies have real support and where practice runs ahead of proof.
