Discharge planning begins at admission. Your healthcare team (physicians, nurses, care coordinator, therapist, social worker and others) will work with you and your family to ensure that your discharge is safe and timely. The team will help you assess your needs, and will provide support, information and referrals to make sure that you can function as independently as possible after your discharge. If needed, the team can help identify potential sources of financial aid and additional resources. Your questions about treatment and continuing care are important. If we don’t completely answer them, please tell us.
