Research trends in readiness for hospital discharge between 2002 and 2021: A bibliometric analysis

ConclusionsThe bibliometric analysis of material published in the last 20  years indicates that there have been statistically significant gains in comprehensive information on RHD, including the knowledge mapping of the countries, institutions, authors, references and keywords. The hotspots and frontiers, which have been explored can give guidance to researchers as to n ew angles and directions to take.Implications for Nursing Management The effects of the implementation of ERAS on RHD-related risk for adverse post-discharge outcomes in surgical patients will be of increasing concern for healthcare professionals. It is important for patients and their relatives to be confident that on discharge they are sufficiently ready for hospital discharge to enable them to safely and smoothly make the transition to home. Improving the level of RHD in discharged patients can help nurse managers and researchers measure the effectiveness of discharge planning services.
