Hospital discharge is when you are allowed to leave a hospital after treatment. It involves working with a discharge planner who will help you understand the next steps and how to care for yourself at home.
Whether you were in the hospital for a medical condition, a procedure, or a visit to the emergency room, it’s important to know how to care for yourself once you leave. Make sure to follow the instructions in your discharge plan.
If you’re recovering from an illness, surgery, or injury, you may need outpatient rehabilitation. This means you’ll receive one or more types of therapy after you’ve been discharged from a hospital or clinic.
