Studies have been reported to support effects of transitional care programs in reducing hospital readmissions and enhancing clinical outcomes. However, there is a paucity of studies executing full economic evaluation to assess the cost-effectiveness of these transitional care programs. This study is therefore launched to fill this knowledge gap. SN - 1472-6963 UR - https://doi.org/10.1186/1472-6963-12-479 DO - 10.1186/1472-6963-12-479 ID - Wong2012 ER -
