The effectiveness of using a discharge planning tool for families with high-risk infants in a special care nursery is evaluated. Consistent use of the discharge planning tool resulted in parents' increased feeling of preparedness for discharge of their high-risk infants. Implications that resulted from the evaluation are presented.
