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!
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!
SO INCREDIBLY HELPFUL! You are a legend Dr. Jeong!
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.
thanks for a thorough discharge planning video
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.

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