Abstract: Continuity of Care involves planned, coordinated and integrated health actions, over time, in different directions in the health care network; its benefits are related to improved patient satisfaction, effective coordination of health care networks, reduced costs and a reduction in avoidable hospital admissions. Objective: Promote Continuity of Care for elderly people in the transition from hospital to Primary Health Care. Method: This is a Convergent Care Research, carried out with 30 elderly people and their family members/caregivers and seven nurses from a medical clinic unit in a University Hospital in the South of Brazil. The research had as a theoretical reference the theory of Transitions by Afaf Ibraim Meleis. Data collection took place between the months of January and June 2023, through five stages: identification of hospitalized elderly people in need of continuity of care, assessment, training of identified demands, carrying out counter-referral to Primary Care and follow-up after hospital discharge through teleconsultations. The analysis of subjective data occurred according to the steps described by the Convergent Care Research while objective data was analyzed in a simple descriptive way. Ethical issues covered the entire investigation process and approval was obtained by the Human Research Ethics Committee of the Federal University of Santa Catarina. Results: From the identification and assessment stages, patients' health care needs were known, which could be associated with facilitating and inhibiting conditions in the transition process and allowed the direction of discharge planning actions. For the training stage, educational material was prepared aimed at the post-hospital care needs of elderly people. The main demands were related to the need to identify warning signs, care with medications, nutrition, prevention of pressure injuries and falls and care for injuries/dressings. Counter-referral was carried out through pre-discharge contact with the patient's Basic Health Unit to schedule an appointment at PHC, counter-referral email and delivery of documents related to hospitalization, including the care plan for discharge. There was no success in counter-referring all participants due to the difficulty in contact/communication with the patient's primary reference units. Finally, follow-up via teleconsultation made it possible to clarify doubts in a timely manner, helping to avoid unnecessary searches for emergencies, continuity of care in PHC and other points of the health care network, as well as knowledge of difficulties faced in returning to the hospital. home post-hospital discharge. Conclusion: Actions to promote transition and continuity of care in PHC, such as discharge planning, are possible to be implemented in the hospital environment as long as they are designed and designed in ways that can be incorporated into care practice. When started early and focused on the elderly person's care needs, they favor a safe transition to home, maintain the elderly person's health, reduce the risk of readmissions and visits to the emergency room and prevent the individual from being lost in the care network due to discontinuity of services.
