Racial differences in discharge planning
- Authors:
- MORROW-HOWELL Nancy, et al
- Journal article citation:
- Health and Social Work, 21(2), May 1996, pp.131-139.
- Publisher:
- Oxford University Press
Given previously reported findings of racial differences in elderly people's use of posthospital care, this article focuses on discharge planning processes as explanations of differential service utilisation. The authors studied the discharge plans for African American and white elderly patients and examined options pursued for posthospital care by social workers, patients, and families for evidence of racial differences. They also looked for racial differences in ruling out nursing home care for reasons of patient and family preference. Implications for practice and future research are discussed.

- Publisher:
- Oxford University Press
Reports on a study in the USA where Community Long-Term Care (CLTC) data were used to identify factors increasing the risk of institutionalisation in people with dementia. Clients diagnosed with dementia and observed at least twice between June 1993 and December 1994 were studied. Logistic regression determined that clients with a decline in ADL function who were white, had a non-relative or child as a caregiver, and were diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease were at increased risk of institutionalisation. Discusses the results in relation to designing additional interventions to prevent institutionalisation.
