Discharge & coordination

First week at home plan

The first week is about monitoring and coordination, not perfection.

Quick checklist

  • Track: sleep, appetite, pain, toileting, confusion, mood.
  • Set follow-ups and labs within 1–2 days if needed.
  • Watch for red flags and call early.
  • Keep notes in one place for the clinician.
