I am completely new to discharge planning and I learned more in this video than I did in the past 2 weeks of training with my preceptor. It has been a confusing 2 weeks. Thank you!
This was fantastic! I am just getting into discharge planning at a skilled nursing facility and really could use some help getting put on solid ground. Thanks for all your tips and I look forward to watching your future videos.
thank you for this video 🫶🏽 i am wondering since some of this information sounds like something a medical social worker would do! so do doctor's go through the same list?
Sure! I can really only speak to internal medicine intern year. My main pieces of advice are: 1) Don't stress too much about "preparing" for intern year - remember to have fun before residency starts! You'll learn most things on the job. 2) If you're dead set on preparing, choose just 1 or 2 resources, whether it's listening to a podcast at least once weekly (such as Clinical Problem Solvers) or subscribing to New England Journal of Medicine and reading 1-2 articles per week. And stick to it through residency!
Hi. How do I talk to, what do I say, or approach the patient or the patient's family in discharging the patient. Or is that something a social worker will be doing ? Do I need to read a patient's record about his hospital stay to determine what their skill needs are, what their DME could be , etc ? How many days do I normally have to get all that is required before the pt is discharged ? Am I to keep track of what the pt needs when they leave before even a Dr give the patient a discharge date ? thx
If you're the primary intern or resident, you should be able to keep your patient updated each day in terms of when you anticipate they'll be discharged. Discharge is a team effort! You'll typically have a case manager and social worker helping you.
It’s important to make sure the family does not mislead what you tell them. An example was provided to us that the family interpreted for a man who was having his leg amputated. They realized the family did not tell him his leg was being amputated and surgery was stopped.

I'm a nurse but this was a great refresher just to remember the concepts that need to be top of mind prior to discharge!

Hello Monica, I would like to partner with you to educate discharge planners across the country. How do I get in touch with you ?
