Boosting Hospital Discharge (BHD)

Boosting Hospital Discharge (BHD) refers to strategies aimed at improving the process by which patients leave the hospital after treatment. The goal is to ensure patients are discharged safely and efficiently, reducing wait times in hospitals and improving patient satisfaction. This often involves coordinating care, providing follow-up resources, and addressing patients' needs before they leave. Effective BHD practices help minimize readmissions, ensuring that patients receive the support they need at home, fostering a smoother transition from hospital to home care. Ultimately, BHD enhances overall healthcare quality and patient outcomes.
