Discharge

The discharge team is there to help you when you are discharged from the emergency clinic or specialised medical care ward. Our goal is to ensure a safe and smooth discharge. The discharge team also organises short-term support for coping at home.

In addition to the nurses of the discharge team, a physiotherapist, occupational therapist and service counsellor will support your discharge if necessary. The discharge team works in the hospital. In some cases, the personnel may agree with you on a home visit.

If necessary, the discharge team may collaborate with your loved ones, home care and others involved in your care. If you need longer-term support at home, we will refer you to home care or other services. There are regional differences in the availability of the service.

When you are in the hospital, the ward personnel will assess your need for a discharge team and invite the team to see you.

The discharge team's assessment is free of charge. The home visits are subject to a fee with the exception of regular home care clients.
