discharge follow-up services

Discharge follow-up services are after-care support provided to patients once they leave a healthcare facility. These services may include phone calls, home visits, or appointments with healthcare providers to monitor recovery, manage medications, address concerns, and plan ongoing treatment. The goal is to ensure a smooth transition from hospital to home, prevent complications, and promote recovery. They help patients understand their care plan better and stay on track with their health, ultimately improving outcomes and reducing the chance of readmission.
