Beyond the hospital walls--a study of black patients after discharge from hospital.

Ninety-six patients were followed up in their homes 2 weeks, 3 months and 1 year after their discharge from hospital. Within 2 weeks of discharge from hospital, interviews could only be arranged with 80, 9 having died and 7 being untraceable at the given address. The characteristics of the patients, their living conditions, knowledge of their illness, general health and ability to work were noted on the first follow-up visit, and their general health and ability to work were reassessed on two subsequent occasions, by which time a further 8 and 7 had died. As a result of the survey, recommendations are made covering health information for patients and suitable follow-up procedures to ensure maximum benefit from hospitalization.
