Go over this handy after-discharge <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lifeline.com\/blog\/importance-of-a-patient-file-checklist\/\">checklist with a doctor or case manager<\/a> before it\u2019s time to go home from a procedure or hospital admission.<\/p>\n<h2>Top 10 Steps to Follow After Hospital Discharge<\/h2>\n<h3>1. Ask questions.<\/h3>\n<p>There are a few key pieces of information you need to know before going home:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>What\u2019s your main problem?<\/li>\n<li>What do you need to do? And<\/li>\n<li>Why is it important to do this?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\u201cThese questions and their answers form the framework for your needs after discharge,\u201d notes Nicole Rochester, founder\/CEO, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.yourgpsdoc.com\/\">Your GPS Doc<\/a> in Gambrills, MD. And when you\u2019re not crystal clear about the instructions, ask for clarification. <em>Learn more from the <\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ihi.org\/resources\/Pages\/Tools\/Ask-Me-3-Good-Questions-for-Your-Good-Health.aspx\"><em>National Patient Safety Foundation and Institute for Healthcare Improvement<\/em><\/a><em>.<\/em><\/p>\n<h3>2. Discuss finances.<\/h3>\n<p>Although it can be awkward, it\u2019s necessary to discuss your ability to afford the equipment, medications or home care after hospital discharge. When we provide all the relevant financial information we can, case managers and social workers can do a better job getting us the resources we need.<\/p>\n<h3>3. Seek support.<\/h3>\n<p>The case manager or social worker can point you to organizations that offer help after hospital discharge, from transportation and meal delivery to social visits. Options include nonprofits, the local council on aging, in-person and online support groups, faith-based organizations and friend groups. Remember that support is just as important for caregivers as for patients.<\/p>\n<h3>4. Follow instructions.<\/h3>\n<p>This seems obvious, yet many people don\u2019t do it. \u201cNot following discharge recommendations can result in hospital readmission due to worsening health or complications,\u201d laments Cheryl Dye, director of the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.clemson.edu\/aging\">Clemson University Institute for Engaged Aging<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h3>5. Manage medications.<\/h3>\n<p>Sometimes we come home with a lot of new prescriptions and OTC medications to manage. Ask your pharmacist, doctor or case manager to help you create a medication schedule to avoid drug interactions and other conflicts, and to outline special requirements like, \u201ctake with food\u201d or \u201cavoid dairy\u201d. If you\u2019ve got a lot of pills or are dealing with cognitive impairments, an automatic medication dispenser may be worth the investment.<\/p>\n<h3>6. Take notes.<\/h3>\n<p>This one\u2019s really important. A doctor\u2019s appointment is one point in time, but your recovery is a longer-term issue. \u201cA log of mental and physical symptoms that occur from day to day can provide a much more comprehensive picture and thus be critically important to the care team in providing appropriate medical advice,\u201d Dye says.<\/p>\n<h3>7. Address compliance.<\/h3>\n<p>It can be awkward to ask your partner or parent to follow the rules, so many of us avoid conversation and conflict. But that\u2019s dangerous. If the patient isn\u2019t following instructions, \u201cpatiently explore why your loved one resists,\u201d Dye says. \u201cSometimes it helps to connect a recommendation with something the loved one values, like being able to participate in favorite activities.\u201d If the patient is reluctant, discuss that with your healthcare provider, who may be able to adjust the recommendations to make them more acceptable to your family member.<\/p>\n<h3>8. Stay engaged.<\/h3>\n<p>Depression around the time of illness or hospitalization affects many patients. It\u2019s easy to feel lonely and isolated, and reduced mobility and other capacities can even make us depressed. That\u2019s why it\u2019s crucial to stay engaged and connected. Accept when others offer to come for a visit. Use technology like video chats and email to stay in touch. Investigate ride-hailing services that cater to people with medical needs. If depression leads to thoughts of self-harm, contact 9-1-1 or a suicide hotline immediately. Family caregivers can also get depressed and should follow this same advice.<\/p>\n<h3>9. Build confidence.<\/h3>\n<p>We all want to recover immediately, but sometimes our bodies have a different idea. Follow doctor\u2019s orders about activity levels, and stay patient and positive. When things are hard, remind yourself\/your family member that you\/they have successfully tackled many hard things in the past. Tap into that to get through the difficulties. Celebrate even small milestones and incremental improvements.<\/p>\n<h3>10. Call 9-1-1.<\/h3>\n<p>Many of us are reticent to call an ambulance, but if something is wrong, and it\u2019s serious enough that you think you\/your family member needs to go to the ER, don\u2019t hesitate to call 9-1-1. After all, that\u2019s what the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lifeline.com\/blog\/evolution-of-medical-alert-system-technology\/\">medical alert system is for<\/a>. It\u2019s much better to take an ambulance to the hospital for an evaluation that reveals no serious problems than to stay at home with a potentially life-threatening condition.<\/p>\n<p>Following this discharge checklist helps you prepare better for life after hospital admission or procedure and a positive recovery at home.<\/p>\n<p><em>Don\u2019t disregard professional medical advice, or delay seeking it, because of what you read here.
