Communication between office‐based primary care providers and nurses working within patients' homes: an analysis of process data from <scp>CAPABLE</scp>

Abstract

Nurses practicing within patients' homes can improve care coordination by using phone calls to address minor matters and written letters for detailed communication. Future research should explore implementation of Situation, Background, Assessment and Recommendation in home care to promote safe and efficient communication. Nurses should empower patients to address concerns directly with providers through use of devices including health passports.
