The 5 Ws of Patient Discharge
Hospital discharge is a critical transition in patient care—and often one of the most vulnerable moments. To help ensure medication accuracy, reduce readmissions, and support better patient outcomes, pharmacy professionals play a vital role in clearly communicating next steps with patients at discharge.
This evidence-informed suite of patient education materials was developed with the support of the CSHP Foundation’s inaugural William McLean Innovation Grant. It is designed to benefit both patients and pharmacy professionals by providing accessible, multilingual resources to guide safe and informed discharges.
Resources include videos, infographics, pamphlets, and forms, available in five languages.
