The frequency of follow-up visits depends on several factors, including the nature of the illness, the type of treatment, and the patient's overall health. Generally, follow-ups can be categorized as:
- Short-term follow-ups: Usually within a few days to a week after discharge or initial treatment. - Long-term follow-ups: Scheduled over weeks, months, or even years, especially for chronic conditions or post-surgical care.
Healthcare providers typically establish a follow-up schedule tailored to the patient's specific needs and condition.
