Objectives

This article aims to identify the steps necessary to evaluate the clinical need for innovative coverage models within the oncology setting to help prevent hospital readmissions.

Data Sources

Multiple published studies suggest alternative methods for patient care delivery that are safe and cost effective.

Conclusion

Improving care transitions for the oncology patient is necessary to be able to provide low-cost, high-quality, and patient-centered care. Many of the review studies in this article suggest that emergency room visits and subsequent readmission could be decreased with the use of innovative care models.

Implications for Nursing Practice

Nurses are critical to the care of medically fragile patients. Nurse-led activities such as telephone triage, post discharge phone calls, or telehealth visits can reduce patient emergency department utilization and readmissions through early recognition of symptoms and oncologic emergencies by prompting timely referrals/consultations and quick interventions.

预防再入院的护理模式。

目标

本文旨在确定评估肿瘤学环境中创新覆盖模型的临床需求所需的步骤，以帮助防止再入院。

数据源

多项已发表的研究提出了安全且具有成本效益的患者护理服务替代方法。

结论

改善肿瘤患者的护理过渡对于能够提供低成本、高质量和以患者为中心的护理是必要的。本文中的许多综述研究表明，使用创新的护理模式可以减少急诊室就诊和随后的再入院次数。

对护理实践的影响

护士对于医疗脆弱患者的护理至关重要。护士主导的活动，如电话分诊、出院后电话或远程医疗访问，可以通过及时转诊/咨询和快速干预，通过早期识别症状和肿瘤紧急情况，减少患者急诊科的使用和再入院。
