The first 30 days home: A day-by-day guide for families caring for a parent after hospital discharge
- The first 30 days after hospital discharge mark the most dangerous recovery period for older adults, with significant health risks starting during this time.
- Approximately 20% of adverse events occur within the first three weeks post-discharge, and half of patients experience a medical error during this period, according to the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality.
- Older adults typically receive about two new medications at discharge, adding complexity to their care.
- Only about 35.6% of discharged patients have a follow-up visit within two weeks, even though these visits lower 30-day readmission rates.
