Discharge Procedures
Early during your stay,
your health care team will talk to you about
your after hospitalization care needs,
anticipated discharge date, and how to receive
your follow-up care.
If supplies are needed at
time of discharge, the discharge nurse will
review them with you. If medication is
prescribed, it can be picked up at the
outpatient pharmacy as you leave the hospital.
If you are on a special diet, a dietitian
will counsel you and your family on how to
follow your diet at home.
A social
worker is available to
assist with care planning after discharge if
indicated.
Patients are expected to
be discharged by 12:00 noon.
Lost and Found
If you have lost any personal items during
your stay, tell your health care team. You may
also call our Lost and Found Office at (800)
849-3597, extension
70985.
Survey of Healthcare Experience of Patients
You may be contacted for feedback about your
stay shortly after your discharge. Your comments
will help us to continue to meet our goal of
providing quality health care to our veteran
patients and family. It is important that we
have your correct phone number at time of
discharge, especially if you will not be going
to your own home.
