When you are discharged from the hospital, this transition requires the successful transfer of information from provider to the patient and family, which will help reduce adverse events and prevent readmissions in the future. Engaging patients and families in the discharge planning process helps make this transition both safe and effective.

Please pay close attention to your medication instructions upon your hospital discharge. You will be sent home with paper instructions, but please be sure to ask questions to confirm your understanding of your medication schedule. Also, please don’t hesitate to ask any questions or bring up any concerns that you may have before going home. We’re here to help you and will answer any question that you have, no matter how big or small.
