DISCHARGE PROCESS

At Suraksha Hospital, we understand that getting discharged marks a significant moment in a patient’s recovery journey. Whether you're going home, being transferred to another facility, or continuing treatment on an outpatient basis, our discharge process is designed to be smooth, well-organized, and stress-free. We aim to ensure that patients and their families leave with complete clarity on their medical condition, medications, follow-up care, and financial responsibilities.
 

Doctor’s Approval and Discharge Planning
 

The discharge process begins once your treating doctor confirms that you are clinically stable and ready to leave the hospital. In some cases, discharge may be planned a day in advance. For emergency or surgical patients, discharge timing may depend on your response to treatment or post-operative recovery.
 

Our medical and nursing team will prepare your discharge summary, prescription, and any special instructions. If physiotherapy, dietary support, or home care is needed, those referrals will also be arranged before discharge.
 

Billing and Final Settlement
 

Once the doctor gives the discharge order, your final bill will be generated by our billing department. For patients using insurance, our team will coordinate with your insurance provider or TPA to submit necessary documents and obtain final approval. Please note that discharge may take a few hours if insurance clearance is pending.
 

For self-paying patients, the final bill will include room charges, investigations, treatments, medications, and any procedures done during your stay. We request that all dues be cleared before leaving the hospital. Our staff is available to assist with any billing-related queries during this time.
 

Discharge Summary and Medications
 

You will receive a detailed Discharge Summary that includes:

• A summary of your illness and treatment

• List of medications with dosage and duration

• Follow-up appointments and next steps

• Diet and activity recommendations

• Instructions for wound care, if applicable

• Emergency contact numbers
   

Your nurse or doctor will explain these instructions clearly and answer any questions before you leave. Please store your discharge documents safely as they will be required for future medical care and insurance claims.
 

Arranging Transport and Follow-Up
 

If you require assistance in arranging transportation or ambulance service, our team will be happy to help. For patients with mobility issues or those needing wheelchair support, we ensure safe movement from the ward to the exit.
 

Follow-up appointments with your doctor can be booked before you leave or through our hospital reception later. Staying on track with your medications and check-ups is vital to ensure a smooth recovery.
 

Leaving with Confidence
 

Discharge from the hospital doesn’t mean the end of care—it’s a transition to a new phase of healing. Our team remains available to guide you even after you leave. If you experience any complications or concerns once home, do not hesitate to reach out to your treating doctor or visit our emergency department.
 

At Suraksha Hospital, we’re committed to making your discharge process as clear, caring, and complete as your treatment. Because we believe the best care continues—even after you walk out the door.
