Ep. 97 | Premature Hospital Discharges and their Resulting Readmissions
from EPAGA University · host Inga Lake & Julie Brubaker
Well... we've made it through 96 whole episodes without getting on our soap box. We guess it's time. "In an ideal world, hospital discharge would take place when both you and your healthcare provider think the time is right. You would be strong enough and healthy enough to handle not only the important discharge tasks and details, but also to take care of yourself once you arrive at your destination. However, we don’t live in an ideal world" (Verywell Health). "Unfortunately, as many as one in six people on Medicare gets readmitted to the hospital within 30 days" (Verywell Health). This week, we're talking about the events surrounding a premature hospital discharge and the all-too-common ensuing readmissions. Strap in... if we get a little passionate, it's because we've been on the receiving end of these disastrous outcomes a few too many times. Our goal in sharing this information is only to bolster your personal awareness so you can be better prepared to be an advocate for yourself and your loved ones.
