Validating Discharge Planning Decision Support in a Regional Community Hospital
The purpose of this study is to determine the predictive performance of the Early Screen for
Discharge Planning (ESDP) tool in a regional community hospital. The central hypothesis is
that the ESDP differentiates between patients in a regional community hospital who would
benefit from those who would not benefit from early discharge-planning intervention as
measured by problems and unmet continuing care needs, quality of life, length of stay, and
referrals to post-acute services.

Patients who are hospitalized for medical or surgical reasons who consent to the study will
be screened within 24 hours of hospital admission using the Early Screen for Discharge
Planning (ESDP). The ESDP is a four-item screening tool used to determine on admission which
patients are likely to have complex discharge plans and could benefit from early engagement
of discharge planning personnel. The ESDP yields a total score, and those with a score of 10
or greater are considered to have a "high score" and likely to have a complex discharge
plan. Those with a score of 9 or below have a "low score". The ESDP screen has been proven
to be valid in large academic medical centers. This study will determine if the screen
performs with the same validity in a small community hospital.
