Discharge planning toolkit for families
Coming home from the hospital or a skilled nursing facility is one of the highest-risk transitions in healthcare. Most readmissions happen in the first 7–10 days — and most are preventable with the right follow-through.

A comprehensive interactive checklist covering everything from the first 24 hours to week four — follow-up scheduling, medication reconciliation, referral tracking, home logistics, and a care team directory.
A post-discharge quiz that identifies which follow-up items are being missed in the first week home. Produces a personalized action plan with specific next steps for each gap.
A quick 7-question assessment that evaluates how complex the care coordination situation is — and what level of support makes sense. Useful right after discharge when everything feels overwhelming.
Evaluate how organized your medical records are. A discharge is a perfect time to check — when records from the hospital, specialists, and your PCP all need to be in sync.
If a discharge means transitioning to a new primary care doctor, this checklist covers records transfers, prescription continuity, referral handoffs, and first-visit preparation.
A reference covering what Medicare does and doesn't cover, common post-discharge coordination scenarios, and key deadlines — with space to fill in your specific plan details.
