Discharge and Home Care
Preparing to leave a healthcare facility involves careful planning and coordination and is often the beginning of new challenges. Discharge is considered a “hand-off” from the hospital or care facility to the patient and his or her caregivers. As with all hand-offs, it is important that the instructions for the patient’s care be complete and well understood - for every member of the team.
