The Well Planned Action Series will support teams to improve the experience for people creating, clarifying, and communicating medical goals for discharge. Medical goals for discharge provide information about the clinical reason for a patient’s admission and describe the clinical status the team and patient are working towards in order to be medically fit for discharge. Medical goals for discharge is not a checklist to be achieved before discharge (criteria led discharge), or a component of advanced care planning (goals of care).
