Patient safety tool: AHA’s discharge planning kit

The American Hospital Association offers a discharge planning toolkit to help hospitals improve patient transitions to post-acute care and reduce readmissions.

The kit includes information from five case studies at hospitals and health systems and tools to support decision-making related to the following topics:

  • When a general acute-care hospital patient should be discharged
  • Whether a patient will need post-acute care
  • What types of post-acute care may be most suitable

The tools were designed to align with the culture of the organization and providers using it and focus on reducing the burden on administrative staff and clinicians.
