The research highlights challenges around post-discharge management in the primary care context. Coordination and communication were key factors for improving follow-up care following AKI.

The issues pertaining to discharge care following AKI are relevant to practitioners and commissioners as they work to improve transitions of care for vulnerable patient populations.
