Preparing for Your Discharge

How to Continue Your Care at Home

We may all be patients in the hospital at some point in our lives. Because we are committed to the health, well-being and safety of our patients, we want you to be prepared when you are ready to be discharged from the hospital.

The National Patient Safety Foundation has developed patient safety tools and fact sheets that you will find helpful when you are discharged from the hospital. Please print them out and share them with your family and friends as you participate in the healthcare system.
