A huge problem is the lack of comprehensive care and services after any hospitalization elective or not. A Canadian study of 700 persons shows that top 3 patient complaints are: insufficient home care services, services not in place before discharge, and the dumping of the burden for arranging services on the recovering patient.
US national hospital surveys also show that patients find hospital discharge planning and execution woefully inadequate. Patients and families are given too little useful info about the medicines to take and the therapy they need to complete their recovery.
Don’t leave the ER or hospital floor until you fully understand what to do at home. Just don’t!
