Development and testing of the QDis-MH checklist for discharge letters from specialised mental healthcare: a stakeholder-centred study.

GPs, mental health specialists and patient representatives defined 26 information items relevant to include in discharge letters in mental healthcare. The QDis-MH checklist is valid and feasible. However, when using the checklist, raters should be trained and the number of raters kept to a minimum due to questionable inter-rater reliability.
