Average Patient Journey (APJ)
Monitoring and Observation: Throughout their stay, the patient's condition is monitored closely by the nursing staff. Vital signs are checked regularly, and any changes or concerns are promptly addressed. Rehabilitation and Support: If the patient undergoes surgery or requires rehabilitation, they receive support from the healthcare team to help them recover and regain function. This may involve physical therapy, occupational therapy, or other forms of rehabilitation. Discharge: When the patient is deemed medically stable and ready to leave the hospital, they are discharged. The nursing staff provide discharge instructions and any necessary prescriptions, and arrangements may be made for transportation to the discharge hospitality centre (DHC) or home/care facility if needed. Follow-Up Care: After discharge, the patient may continue to receive follow-up care from their GP, specialist clinics, or community services as needed. This may involve further monitoring, rehabilitation, or ongoing treatment to support their recovery and long-term health.
Throughout this journey, the patient and their family or caregivers are encouraged to ask questions, raise concerns, and actively participate in decisions about their care to ensure the best possible outcomes.
