When the patient leaves hospital after overnight stay, or
following treatment as day-case patient, we want them to return home with a
new confidence. Hence, we prepare a discharge plan for every individual
patient. All the members of healthcare team are responsible for helping with
the discharge planning process. The experienced staff at Kalra can make sure
that patients are:
- Provided with all the necessary advice, information, and medical
supplies to enable their immediate return home.
- Given all relevant contact details to enable them to call the
hospital, at any time should any problems arise.
- Contacted by a member of our care team, once they are home (if they
so wish), and to confirm that they are making a satisfactory recovery,
and to provide them with any further advice.
The concerned doctor will determine when the patient may
be discharged. To complete the discharge process, please observe the
following procedures:
- While discharge times vary from patient to patient, we advise to make
transportation arrangement for the patients accordingly.
- On the day the patient is discharged, a member of the family should
go to the Cashier's Office and receive the discharge slip indicating
that all the payments have been made.
- Before you leave, be sure you understand all the instructions
regarding medications or follow-up office visits.
- Don't forget to check all drawers, cabinets, and night stands before
leaving to make sure you have all your belongings. The hospital is not
responsible for any personal property left behind.
- When the patient is ready to leave, hospital personnel will escort
him to the main lobby entrance.
