Discharge Planning
 

Our staff are experienced in the organisation of support services to assist people resume their lifestyle after an episode in hospital. Our private hospital discharge planning service is available at designated hospitals.

We work with medical, nursing and allied health staff to plan a discharge date for as soon as practicable after the treatment for which they went to hospital. Supporting the doctor and their patient through advance planning allows time to discuss the patient's needs with them, and then organising the appropriate services required to assist the person return home and have a successful convalescence.

In addition, we will continue to monitor the patient's health and capacity to manage at home for up to 2 weeks after discharge. If there is any adverse change in the person's condition, their specialist physician will be advised so they can institute the appropriate intervention.
