    When discharging patients from the hospital, staff must complete several procedures to ensure a safe transition from inpatient to outpatient care. Procedures include reviewing the patient's diagnosis, treatment plan and any complications during their hospital stay. Staff also arrange follow up appointments, prescribe any needed medications, arrange transportation and home health services, and provide discharge instructions to aid the patient's recovery at home. A thorough discharge process helps prevent readmissions and gives patients the support they need to continue their care outside the hospital.
