The discharge planning factor was statistically significant (r = .651, p < .001) and the information network factor was positively correlated with the seamless transmission outcome of the sample. The information network factor was statistically significant (r = .518, p < .001) and the coordination network factor was positively correlated with the seamless transmission outcome of the sample.
