The article describes such steps, with 12 patients along 2004, analyzing follow up and pointing out waysfor implementation. Among the project potentialities, it can be pointed out: access to patients and records; families' andpatients' security at discharge; collaboration at the units; access to bibliography, supplies and equipment.
