Racial Differences in Discharge Planning.

Morrow-Howell, Nancy; And Others

Health & Social Work, v21 n2 p131-39 May 1996

Studied discharge plans for 369 African American and white elderly patients and examined posthospital care options pursued by social workers, patients, and families. Discharge planning with African American patients and family members involved less pursuit of nursing home care and more pursuit of formal services in the home than planning with white patients and families.
