    Kurzfassung: To understand the patients' reasons for returning to the emergency department soon after their discharge from an internal medicine unit and to compare these reasons with the liaison nurse clinician's risk assessment tools used for discharge planning. Background Returns to the emergency departments soon after discharge from the hospital are a recurrent problem. Factors precipitating readmission to hospital have been analysed through the lens of health care providers, but few studies have explored the patients' perspectives on their reasons for returning to the emergency departments. Design A qualitative, descriptive study. Methods Semi‐structured interviews were conducted with a convenience sample of eight patients recruited from a major teaching hospital in Montreal, Canada. Three different data sources were triangulated: patients' perspectives obtained through interviews and data from the tools used by the liaison nurse clinician, the Bounceback Probability Legend and the LACE Index Scoring Tool. Results Most patients attributed their return to the emergency department on being discharged too soon, feeling weak at discharge, having limited help at home with managing chronic illnesses and insufficient discharge instructions. participants' reasons for returning differed from those predicted by the liaison nurse clinician's evaluation using the risk assessment tools of each participant's risk of return. Conclusions This study highlights patients' frailty upon discharge from the hospital and their informational need on their health condition and their support need to rely on during convalescence at home. Patient's readiness and concerns were not integrated as part of the liaison nurse clinician's evaluation tools for discharge planning. This led to discrepancies between the perspectives of the patients and the liaison nurse clinician about discharge planning. Relevance to clinical practice Health care professionals should evaluate patients' understanding of their illness, their readiness for self‐management and work collaboratively with patients to assess concerns before discharge, so that appropriate support can be mobilised to prevent readmission.
