Discharge information

Planning for discharge

We understand being hospitalized can be a significant interruption to your daily life, and our goal is to support you in leaving the hospital as soon as it is safely possible. That’s why discharge planning begins the day you’re admitted. This approach keeps you informed and helps reduce disruptions.

For your convenience, we will update you each day on your expected discharge date. This allows you and your loved ones to plan ahead and improves coordination of the next steps in your care. A member of your care team will discuss going home plans with you, including home care, medications, follow-up appointments and other instructions to make your transition from hospital to home as smooth as possible.

If needed, a case manager and/or social worker will help plan a safe and smooth transition to your next level of care.
