After You Leave

When your doctor believes you are ready to leave the hospital, they will authorize your discharge. Please talk to your nurse about the hospital's discharge procedures.

Here are a few tips to make the discharge process run smoothly:

• Be sure you and/or your caregiver speak with a discharge planner so that you understand the services needed after leaving the hospital.
