To contact us Click HERE

I could not have ended this year with abetter topic. Hospital discharge planning is not something to beignored, but often it is, much to the detriment of the patient andtheir safety after being discharged. Therefore, if you are expectingto have this happen to you, or you are a caregiver for someone beingdischarged from a hospital, take time to read this and I mean reallydigest the contents. Then you can print out a copy to have with youto remind you of important points.
Not all hospitals are equal and some dovery good at discharging patients. It is the hospitals that are notdoing things properly that need to be challenged. The high points ofthis guide are: 1. What is discharge planning?2. Why is good discharge planning so important?3. The caregiver's role in the discharge process4. Getting help at home5. Discharge to a facility6. Paying for care after discharge7. What if you feel it's too early for discharge?8. Improving the system9. Conclusion
Below the conclusion is someinformation for caregivers. Some may seem overkill, but to make thisadaptable for many people, this section needs to be large.
The other website that is so importantis this one - http://www.nextstepincare.org./
Do not allow hospitals to discharge youwithout knowing your rights and procedures that hospitals need tofollow to see that you receive the proper care after discharge.
