20 Questions to Ask During Hospital Discharge
When a loved one is being discharged from the hospital, many thoughts and emotions flood your mind. In the midst of it all is the worry you may have of being prepared enough to provide the care your loved one needs upon discharge.
It's vital that you're fully equipped with certain questions to ask during hospital discharge such as Which doctor appointments are needed after discharge and when should they be scheduled? or May we have the latest list of prescribed medications? What does each medicine do and why is it needed?
By asking the right questions and taking an active role in your care, you can bridge the gap that patients typically experience when transferring from one care setting to another—which is one of the top causes for hospital readmission.
