What is an RN discharge planner?

RN Discharge Planners are registered nurses who specialize in coordinating a patient's transition from a healthcare facility to their home or another care setting. They assess patients’ needs, develop safe and effective discharge plans, and ensure continuity of care by arranging follow-up appointments, home health services, and patient education. Their goal is to help patients recover safely while minimizing the risk of hospital readmission and ensuring a smooth transition for both patients and their families.
