Hospital discharge is the process of a patient leaving a hospital after receiving treatment. It involves a healthcare team assessing the patient's condition to ensure they are stable and ready to continue recovery at home or another care facility. Discharge planning often includes instructions for follow-up care, medications, and lifestyle changes. Before discharge, patients typically receive a summary of their hospital stay, including diagnoses and treatments. They may also be given contact information for healthcare providers, such as doctors or nurses, to address any questions or concerns that arise after leaving the hospital.
