Continuity and Coordination of Care During Hospital-To-Home Transitions: Healthcare Professionals' Perspectives.
Article in Journal of clinical nursing, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
aimTo gain insight into healthcare professionals' perceptions and needs regarding hospital-to-home transitions.
designQualitative phenomenological study.
methodsHospital and primary care professionals participated in focus groups and interviews. Participants were recruited from a Dutch University hospital and from our networks between May and September 2023. Data were analysed using thematic analysis.
resultsWe conducted seven focus groups and twelve interviews. Three themes emerged: "Collaboration and information exchange between professionals", "Coordination and continuity of care", and "Interaction between professionals, patients, and families".
conclusionThis study suggests that professionals would benefit from clear guidelines and arrangements for communication with colleagues to support care coordination and continuity. Collaboration and information sharing are essential for providing integrated, patient-centred care. Additionally, involving patients and families in decision-making regarding hospital-to-home transitions, in a way that considers their needs, is important for effective care. IMPLICATIONS: This study highlights the importance of clear communication and collaboration between professionals to ensure continuity of care. It emphasises the need for integrated care, where patients and families are actively involved without being overwhelmed. IMPACT: Transitions from hospital-to-home are often hindered by fragmented, non-individualised care. Improved collaboration, clear coordination, and patient-family involvement can address this. This research can positively impact professionals across different settings, policymakers, and advocacy groups aiming to improve integrated patient-centred care. PATIENT OR PUBLIC CONTRIBUTION: The interview guide was developed with professionals who reviewed it and provided feedback. Professionals provided us with their lived experiences by participating in interviews and focus groups. REPORTING
methodThis study adhered to the COREQ guidelines.
