At Home Post Hospital Discharge Care Program
After a hospital discharge, adapting to the informal home environment after the structured care of a hospital is not easy for a patient. The family too finds it stressful to match the professional care of the hospital in the immediate aftermath of discharge.
Also, following acute care hospitalization, a discharged patient carries the risk of medical errors and adverse events due to the possibility of either fragmented communication or comprehension by the patient's family, during the handoff from the hospital.
