A telephone survey of medical patients 1 week after discharge from hospital
Open accessAbstract
Summary: The telephone is an effective means of communication and its use is growing as a means of offering members of the public access to health‐care agencies for advice and support. Acute hospital beds are at a premium and as lengths of stay in hospital continue to fall there is an increasing need for effective discharge planning and post‐discharge support. Eighty‐five patients (58 men and 27 women) were interviewed over the telephone 1 week after discharge from a medical ward. Over half of the patients reported health problems and one‐fifth reported social problems. Almost half of the patients sought advice. Telephone follow‐up would appear to be a useful means of monitoring a patient's progress and providing an opportunity for patients seeking, or nurses offering, advice and support.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
