Hospital discharge of patients with ongoing care needs: a cross-sectional study using data from a city hospital under SwissDRG.
CONCLUSION: The study identified important concerns related to receiving ATC after a hospital stay, that is, more problems/conflicts occur with patients discharged to ATC and that the introduction of ATC might particularly disadvantage female patients, who are less likely to receive rehabilitation care.
