Background: the quality and continuity of nursing care depend on the quality of information flows between different contexts of care. Objectives: to analyze information relating to the nursing diagnosis and its dimensions, on the role of the care-giver who shared in the transition from hospital to community health care, and the quality of information flows established. Methods: we carried out a content analysis of data from 97 cases derived from the structure of nursing information sharing between the hospital and primary health care at the time of hospital discharge and first contact with nursing primary health care. Results: the documentation at the time of hospital discharge indicates the existence of a significant number of cases where the «Caregiver» emerged as a focus of the nurse, with implications for the process of continuity of care in the transition from hospital to community. However, the continuity of information flow in shared documentation on such cases is on many situations, reduced or nonexistent. Conclusion: the documentation focused on the development of knowledge and skills to carry out the role of career and there was no continuity in information flow in half the cases analyzed.
