Upon Hospital Discharge
Your loved one’s expected date of discharge is decided by your doctor. As part of the process, a nursing professional will work with you on the continuing care plan for your loved one. As caregivers, you and your family may be taught simple nursing procedures to carry out at home.
Before leaving the hospital, you will receive the following:
- A Discharge Summary and Medical Certificate (if necessary).
- Care information or instructions.
- Referrals for care arrangements or follow-up treatment.
- A follow-up appointment at the Specialist Outpatient Clinic (SOC), if necessary.
- Medication prescribed by the pharmacist, who will advise you on use.
