pooh - my friend met with hospital staff from the social services unit of the hospital who had her doctor's info from her chart...so along with hospital nursing staff they developed a specific discharge planning document which was then implemented by the social services folks to insure that the doctor's needs/wants were fulfilled. they even made arrangements with the villages taxi services to transport her to whatever outpatient treatments/appts she needed. they knew what her insurance would cover and what her out-of-pocket expenses would be. hope she can find that service before she is discharged.
