During this visit, the RN will confirm the patient hospital discharge care plan, complete a nursing physical assessment, and communicate the importance of connection to primary care to avoid re-hospitalization. Part of the assessment includes performing medication reconciliation and assessing medication management for the patient and family. The nurse will also complete teaching with the patient, family and caregivers related to their disease and/or chronic illness regarding how to manage their symptoms and when to seek medical attention.
