HOSPITAL DISCHARGE

Hospital Discharge Ottawa – Immediate Help!

Hospital Discharge Ottawa is a valuable service! The prospect of a hospital visit generally incites fear and contempt in the hearts of most people. Nobody likes going to the hospital, especially if it involves surgery or treatment of a serious illness.

Remove some of the stress and anxiety created by a trip to the hospital by having a sound discharge plan in place before going in.

It is easy to get caught up in the different aspects of medical treatment, and concern for your loved one’s well-being leading up to a hospital visit. Having an effective discharge plan in place, can help smooth the transition from hospital to home and accelerate the recovery process.

Why is a pre-arranged discharge plan helpful?

Overcrowded hospitals seek to discharge patients as soon as possible, which may result in having to leave the hospital sooner than anticipated. Making sure you are completely prepared beforehand removes the element of confusion and surprise.

Having the foresight to construct a discharge plan allows you to focus on your loved one’s rehabilitation and state of mind. Any setbacks experienced in the transition process can seriously impede recovery time and may even result in a return trip to the hospital.

What is involved in a Hospital Discharge Ottawa?

Appropriate discharge times are typically decided by the doctor assigned to your case. Several factors will be taken into consideration, such as:

  • Evaluation of patient’s readiness for discharge
  • Communication with patient and family about any concerns they might have
  • Deciding on method of transfer and establishing next destination
  • Assessing need for continued care and support
  • Recommendation of home care agency or health care services
  • Scheduling follow ups

This process can happen very quickly, which is why it is crucial to be ready for discharge at any time.
