Abstract
This study identified that hospitalized elder persons and their family preferred active or collaborative level of participation (LOP) in discharge destination decisions, whereas health care team members (HCTMs) preferred passive LOP. Recognition of preferred LOP by HCTMs is instrumental to developing discharge plans that are tailored to the individual's need and are realistic and achievable.
