What does RACH do to ensure continuity of care after patient discharge?

The reason why providing follow-up appointments and resources is the correct approach for ensuring continuity of care after patient discharge is that it actively engages patients in their post-discharge recovery. By scheduling follow-up appointments, RACH can monitor the patient's progress, address any complications, and adjust treatment plans as necessary. This practice of maintaining communication fosters a continuous care cycle, which is essential for preventing readmissions and ensuring that patients have the support they need to manage their health conditions.

Offering resources such as educational materials, contact information for healthcare providers, and support services further empower patients to take an active role in their recovery. It also helps bridge the gap between inpatient care and outpatient management, emphasizing the importance of a collaborative approach to health management.
