The Impact of Incomplete Nursing Home Transfer Documentation on Emergency Department Care

This study aimed to review the completeness of NH transfer documentation according to expected core components, as guided by the INTERACT 4.0 quality improvement tool. We also describe the association between patient or facility characteristics and transfer documentation completeness, as well as establish whether information gaps in NH-ED transfer documentation were associated with hospital admission.
