What does discharge follow-up mean?

Follow-up after discharge refers to the follow-up, inquiry and consultation services provided by hospital doctors or nurses to discharged patients by telephone, email, SMS and home visits. The purpose of follow-up after discharge is to help patients understand the problems that need attention in the process of rehabilitation, avoid postoperative complications and recurrence, strengthen rehabilitation nursing and psychological counseling, improve the quality of life of patients, enhance their confidence and motivation, and help patients better integrate into society and work.

For a period of time after discharge, the patient's physical condition still needs close attention. Through the follow-up after discharge, we can find the patients' physical problems in time, help patients solve many difficulties and problems in their lives, and play a good guiding role. At the same time, the follow-up after discharge is that hospitals and medical staff are responsible for the curative effect. In the process of patients' postoperative recovery, we should give more help and care to patients and build a bridge between hospitals and patients.

Follow-up after discharge is an important part of rehabilitation, which can not only strengthen patients' confidence and enthusiasm and make them actively cooperate with doctors' treatment, but also check patients' physical condition, find out the changes of their condition and make corresponding adjustment plans. More importantly, it is also very important to adjust and guide the patient's psychology during the whole rehabilitation process. Through the follow-up after discharge, we can analyze the situation more truly and carefully, which will bring great benefits to the rehabilitation of patients.
