Discharge planning is a collaborative effort involving multiple healthcare professionals:
Nurses: Play a critical role in assessing patient needs and coordinating care. Physicians: Provide medical clearance and guidance on post-discharge care. Social Workers: Assist with resources and support systems, such as financial assistance and community services. Pharmacists: Offer medication counseling and ensure the patient understands their prescriptions. Family Members: Often act as caregivers and need to be involved in the planning process.
