Early during your stay, your healthcare team will speak with you about your anticipated discharge date, post-hospitalization healthcare needs, how to receive your follow-up care, and will work with you and your family to schedule a discharge appointment time to promote a smooth discharge process.

If supplies are needed at time of discharge, the discharge nurse will review them with you.  If medication is prescribed, it can be picked up at the outpatient pharmacy as you leave the hospital.

If you are on a special diet, a dietitian will counsel you and your family about how to follow your diet at home.

Survey of Healthcare Experience of Patients

You may be contacted for feedback about your stay shortly after your discharge. Your comments will help us to continue to meet our goal of providing veterans with quality healthcare.  It is important that we have your correct phone number at time of discharge, especially if you will not be going to your own home.
