N432 Complex Health Alterations in Nursing Practice Discharge Planning Project
Methodist College Overview
Introduction: Discharge planning begins at the point of entry into the hospital. Third party payers as well as clients themselves demand quality care that includes well-planned, smooth, and timely discharge. As professional nurses, it is our responsibility to begin the discharge plan, to possess a fundamental knowledge of available resources, and to continually change the plan of care based on the status of the client.
Objective: Learners will develop and clearly communicate a comprehensive discharge plan of care that demonstrates critical thinking and accurately links community and medical surgical theory to practice.
