Abstract
The Coordinated Discharge process was created and implemented to improve the patient discharge process by giving the patient the necessary discharge information in an interdisciplinary fashion to have a successful recovery, follow-up care, etc. The process is performed when members of the patient care team (the nurse, the physician or physician assist, and the technician) discharge the patient at the same time. This process informs and educates patients, family, and caregivers about their illness or injury, medications, treatment, and follow-up care in a team fashion. The process enables the entire care team to be available for patients concerns and questions regarding discharge instructions- follow up care, medications, etc. to decrease re-hospitalization.
