TL;DR: There is a sequential effect of quality of discharge teaching delivery on parent discharge readiness, which is associated with parent coping difficulty and child readmission.

TL;DR: The Synergy Model for Patient Care as mentioned in this paper is a framework for professional nursing practice that emphasizes the unique relationship between patients and clinicians, which can result in optimal outcomes for both. Integrating this model into contemporary nursing practice at a freestanding children's hospital was accomplished by "backing into the model" and developing the "tools" that encompassed both the patient characteristics and the clinician competencies.

TL;DR: Developing a theory-based conversation guide to optimize nurses' preparation of parents for discharge and self-management of their child at home following hospitalization is an important step toward testing the effectiveness of the theory in guiding clinical practice.

TL;DR: The use of ePED by the discharging nurse enhances parent-reported quality of discharge teaching and better care coordination, as measured by Quality of Discharge Teaching Scale-Delivery and Care Transition Measure.

TL;DR: Data suggest that the NR role is emerging and has both commonalities and unique components when compared with the previous studies of NRs in adult hospitals.
