Discharge Planning

The first 3 steps

  1. Begin planning on the day of admission, not the day of discharge.
  2. Assess the home situation: who cares for the patient, distance to a facility, water, electricity and income.
  3. Identify functional needs — mobility, feeding, wound care, oxygen, stoma or catheter care.
