PREPARING FOR DISCHARGE





          Will I receive information about the

          planned discharge?


          · �e team caring for you will let you know the day before discharge that you
          should be able to be discharged from the hospital the next day.
          · If you have any concerns regarding resuming your normal activities or
          clearance to work, drive, or for air travel, please ask your surgeon's.



          What do I need to know about the day of
          discharge from the hospital?

          · Check–out time is 12:00 pm: If you are being discharged to home, it is
          important that you plan for your family member or coach to arrive before
          11:00 am on the day of discharge.
          · Your team will be reviewing all the important information points with you
          and your coach prior to your discharge.
          · Outpatient appointment services that you may need following your surgery
          will be coordinated prior to your discharge from the hospital.
          · Prior to discharge from the hospital, your doctor will provide you with
          prescriptions for the medication you are to take at home. A clinical pharmacist
          will visit you to explain your prescribed medications.
