Hospital discharge refers to the process by which a patient is released from a hospital after receiving medical treatment or care. This process typically involves medical professionals determining that the patient is stable enough to leave the hospital and providing instructions for follow-up care. Hospital discharge may also involve coordination with other healthcare providers, such as home health services or rehabilitation facilities, to ensure the patient continues to receive appropriate care after leaving the hospital. Research in this area may focus on improving the efficiency and effectiveness of the discharge process, reducing hospital readmissions, and enhancing communication between healthcare providers and patients during the transition from hospital to home care.
