Abstract
- Discharge planning is a legally mandated function for hospitals and is one of the "basic" hospital roles as outlined in Medicare's Conditions of Participation. This article will define discharge planning; describe the steps in the discharge planning process; list rules and regulations that influence discharge planning in hospitals; and compare hospital-based actions with payer-based actions when planning discharges. Case managers who work for payers interact with hospital-based case managers to facilitate the discharge planning process for patients. Those who form this patient-provider-payer triangle will benefit by reviewing the dynamics of the discharge planning process.
