| Scientific title | |
| Study objectives | Respiratory liaison nurses are being increasingly used in hospital management of asthma patients, but there has been little evaluation of discharge planning by controlled randomised studies. This controlled study will be carried out in all medical ward (respiratory and non respiratory) in a major teaching hospital, to assess whether a protocol for discharge planning enacted by a trained respiratory nurse can improve clinical management, patient outcomes and GP-hospital exchange of information. |
| Ethics approval(s) | Not provided at time of registration. |
| Health condition(s) or problem(s) studied | Respiratory tract diseases: Asthma |
| Intervention | 1. Provision of discharge planning by respiratory liaison nurse 2. Standard care |
| Intervention type | Other |
| Primary outcome measure | Assessment at 1 month and 12 months after discharge of symptom free days, quality of life, re-admission and emergency attendances, attitudes and beliefs about asthma, self care and satisfaction with hospital care. There will also be a telephone follow up assessing morbidity at 6 months. GP satisfaction with the information provided through discharge planning and its use in GP follow up is also assessed. Clinical outcomes, morbidity and patient resource use are used to estimate the cost effectiveness of discharge planning. |
