Findings suggest that some at-risk patients may not be receptive to in-home transition interventions and that opting out may be associated with higher odds of hospital readmission.

This study used multivariate models to identify physician specialty and comfort with end-of-life discussions, both of which are associated with end-of-life referrals.

Randomized controlled trial of a home care program for managed care patients resulted in lower probability of hospital admission and greater patient satisfaction with care.
