. Discussion
The project might have found:
1) A relationship between patients with a comprehensive discharge planning who had their entire checklist met at time of discharge were less likely to be readmitted within six months post discharge. 2) No relationship between patients with a comprehensive discharge planning who had their entire checklist met at time of discharge were less likely to be readmitted within six months post discharge.

3) It was also mentioned that readmission of patients back into the hospital are not only a costly alternative but it is also step backward in the patients treatment. 4) The results of the studies have been found to be contradictory in the sense that, length of stay has been mentioned to be a predictor of readmission, whereas others researcher have reported that it is not a factor in readmission. 5) Effective discharge planning can reduce the readmission rate in hospitals.

7. Limitations
While controlling the cost of health care services, performance monitoring has become an important The study would be conducted in one hospital so cannot be generalized to the population. Better results might be obtained from using a population of the entire US. This would increase demographic data and possibly yield a higher return rate.

Recommendations:
The study should be repeated with a larger number of patients to increase the validity of this research. Using other psychiatric hospitals is recommended in order to increase the population size, as well as to incorporate a more diverse population.
