Patient discharges refer to the process of releasing a patient from a healthcare facility, such as a hospital or rehabilitation center, after they have received necessary treatment. This process typically involves a thorough evaluation by the medical team to ensure the patient is stable and ready to continue recovery at home or another care setting. During discharge, healthcare providers give patients important information, including follow-up care instructions, medication prescriptions, and any necessary referrals to other specialists. Proper discharge planning is essential to ensure a smooth transition and to reduce the risk of readmission to the facility.
