Results: 23 articles were selected, and the strategies for transition from care to hospital discharge used by nurses to strengthen care were health education, drug reconciliation, telemonitoring, discharge planning, counter-referral and home visit. Conclusion: nurses are responsible for developing interconnected transition strategies to strengthen care, developing diversified actions that qualify attention.Downloads
