Recovery services should follow the treating team's written plan and the patient's individual clinical needs.
Obtain written discharge instructions
Confirm medication, activity limits, warning signs, wound care and follow-up requirements before leaving the hospital.
Verify rehabilitation scope
Check provider licensing, specialty, language capability, location and suitability for the prescribed recovery plan.
Plan accessible daily support
Accommodation, meals, transport, interpretation and family communication can reduce practical stress without replacing nursing care.
Prepare continuity documents
Collect reports, imaging, prescriptions and translated discharge information for the clinician who will continue care at home.
