Planning for your discharge starts well before you actually leave. We will work to have you discharged as early in the day as possible. Some patients need further health care such as home care nursing, care at another hospital, or rehabilitation services; your health care team will work with you to help plan your discharge and any additional care that is required.
Your doctor may write a prescription for medication and a nurse will give you instructions about any other medications you are to take at home.
Please remember that discharge time will not be delayed if you haven’t arranged to have someone drive or accompany you home. With this in mind, plan ahead to have a pick up ready for your discharge day.
