The question

What should a discharge handoff provide when families take on spinal cord injury care at home?

The read

Families can be handed complex health work at home before they have the information or confidence to do it, while tailored evidence-based support remains scarce. A discharge handoff should recognize the family caregiver as a person taking on care work, with a right to clear preparation and continuing support. Caregivers should not bear the risk of filling a specialist support gap alone.
