How it works

1

Enter the discharge plan details

Follow-up tasks assigned, appointments scheduled, medication changes, patient understanding, days until follow-up, and whether escalation criteria were given.

2

We calculate a readiness score

Each factor is weighted toward the parts of a discharge plan most linked to safe recovery, like scheduled follow-up and clear escalation criteria.

3

Get a risk tier and recommended actions

See the discharge readiness score along with specific gaps to close and next steps, matched to how much risk the plan currently carries.

Frequently asked questions

Is this a clinical diagnosis or a treatment recommendation?

No. This is an informational, assistive scoring tool based on the details you enter. It does not diagnose, treat, or replace the clinical judgment of a licensed provider.

What does the readiness score actually measure?

It's a weighted estimate of how well-structured the discharge plan is, based on follow-up coverage, medication change complexity, patient understanding, follow-up timing, and whether escalation criteria were provided.

Why does patient understanding matter so much?

A patient who doesn't understand their instructions is more likely to miss medications, skip follow-up, or fail to recognize warning signs, all of which are strongly linked to readmission risk.

Should this score be used to deny or delay a discharge?

No. It's meant to flag gaps for the care team to review, not to make an autonomous discharge decision. Final discharge decisions remain with the treating clinician.
