Homelessness at discharge and its impact on psychiatric readmission and physician follow-up: a population-based cohort study.

CONCLUSION: Homeless adults are at higher risk of readmission and ED visits following discharge. They are also much less likely to receive post-discharge physician care. Efforts to improve access to services for this vulnerable population are required to reduce acute care service use and improve care continuity. PMID: 30841949 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
