Collaboration in discharge planning in relation to an implicit framework

As elderly people's needs are becoming more complex, healthcare and medical professionals are becoming more specialized to provide better care (WHO, 2015). New technology and specialization leads to safer and better healthcare, but it simultaneously increases the risks of unforeseen injuries from the new innovations (Leonard, Graham,& Bonacum, 2004). There is a demand for structured collaboration and communication to practice safe and integrated care as deficiencies in these aspects have been shown to risk patient safety (Shepperd et al., 2013).
