English
Authors' recommendations: Many studies have been published describing comprehensive discharge planning, which includes thorough discharge communication; unfortunately, there is limited evidence on the effect of methods for discharge communication in isolation of other discharge planning interventions. Therefore, it is not possible to make a conclusion regarding the optimal form of communicating the discharge instructions.
