The transition of patients from hospital setting to their homes is a critical process. The
healthcare facility should ensure smooth patient transition and continuity of care. Patients who
undergo smooth transitioning are not likely to undergo re-hospitalization. They also have more
knowledge on managing their conditions.

transitions of care: an integrative review protocol. Journal of Advanced Nursing,

Abstract
Aim: To describe an integrative review protocol to analyse and synthesize peer-reviewed
research evidence in relation to engagement of patients and their families in communication
during transitions of care to, in and from acute care settings.
Background: Communication at transitions of care in acute care settings can be complex
and challenging, with important information about patients not always clearly transferred
between responsible healthcare providers. Involving patients and their families in
communication during transitions of care may improve the transfer of clinical information and
patient outcomes and prevent adverse events during hospitalization and following discharge.
Recently, optimizing patient and family participation during care transitions has been
acknowledged as central to the implementation of patient-centred care.
Design: Integrative review with potential for meta-analysis and application of framework
synthesis.
