方法
Methods We used a qualitative descriptive design (Sandelowski, 2010), detailing the experiences and perspectives of the patient- discharging family physicians.；Qualitative description focuses on eliciting, describing, and representing participants’ perspectives about the phenomenon of interest.；Recruitment We purposefully recruited family physicians with a continuity- based community primary care practice in Ontario between July 9, 2024, and April 4, 2025.；We also leveraged snowballing techniques as participants were asked to share study details with colleagues whom they believed could offer insight on the topic.
核心结论
Findings: Handoff notes often contained minimal information, but some physicians maximized the form, provided additional documents, communicated directly with the receiving LTC team, and/or prepared families to transmit information on behalf of their loved one.；Suboptimal information transfer was linked to systemic constraints associated with the physicians’ practice capacity, but also to their personal perceptions of the value of the information transmitted to LTC.；This is an Open Access article, distributed under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution licence (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0), which permits unrestricted re-use, distribution and reproduction, provided the original article is properly cited. https://doi.org/10.1017/S0714980826100889 Published online by Cambridge University Press Introduction Like most countries, Canada is experiencing a significant demo- graphic shift, with individuals over 65 years old projected to increase from 16.9 to 22.7 per cent of the population between 2016 and 2031, and those over 85 increasing threefold by 2046 (CIHR, 2023 ‖ 结论：Conclusion Informational continuity is important in ensuring high-quality care during LTC transitions.
局限
Because the LTC-HAF is inadequate or may not prompt all the information they would like to send to LTC, participants said that they often choose to include the CPP.；Fur- thermore, the lack of clear minimum information standards asso- ciated with the document may lead to practitioners providing less than comprehensive information (Griffiths et al., 2014).；This could mitigate constraints associated with 6 Augustine Chukwuebuka Okoh et al. https://doi.org/10.1017/S0714980826100889 Published online by Cambridge University Press physicians’ practice capacity, as participants noted that they may not provide information that is beyond the boundaries of their scope of practice.
