Patient and caregiver experience with delayed discharge from a hospital setting: A scoping review

Background: Delayed hospital discharge occurs when patients are medically cleared but remain hospitalized because a suitable care setting is not available. Delayed discharge typically results in reduced levels of treatment, placing patients at risk of functional decline, falls and hospitalā€related adverse events.

Objective: This scoping review aimed to summarize the literature on patient and caregiver experiences with delayed hospital discharge.
