Randomized Controlled Trial
The effect of including a 'psychooncological statement' in the discharge summary on patient-physician communication: a randomized controlled trial.
The objective of this study is to determine whether the inclusion of a 'psychooncological statement' (PO-statement) in the discharge summary enhances patient-physician communication about psychosocial issues across the inpatient and outpatient sector. ⋯ Written information on psychosocial distress in the discharge summary alone does not affect communication.
