The study held focus groups with 27 registered nurses in five Wisconsin skilled nursing facilities.
Nurses cited incorrect medication orders, lack of patient psychosocial history and inaccurate data on current patient health status as the points of communication that most often created care delays and necessitated clarifications.
The study authors suggested that these points may be useful for revisions of existing care transition interventions.
