Discharge Planning
Healthcare and Medical
Discharge planning is the process healthcare teams use to prepare a patient for leaving a hospital or care facility, coordinating follow-up care, medications, equipment, and referrals to ensure a safe transition. It is typically managed by nurses, case managers, or social workers who assess a patient's home situation and support needs. Effective discharge planning aims to prevent readmissions and ensure continuity of care.
