Abstract : The process of planning for a patient's post-discharge care needs should not commence solely on the day the decision is made to release them from the hospital. It is widely acknowledged that discharge planning is more effective when initiated before admission. Several factors, including individual elements like age, medical factors such as the existence of multiple pathologie, and organizational factors like the absence of alternative care facilities, contribute to the risk of delayed discharge for patients. In this article, the author presents strategies to enhance the involvement of nurses in discharge planning and emphasizes the significance of including patients and their caregivers in the decision-making process [1]. The discharge planning is a routine feature of health systems in many countries. The aim is to reduce hospital length of stay and unplanned readmission to hospital and improve the coordination of services following discharge from hospital thereby bridging the gap between hospital and place of discharge. Sometimes discharge planning is offered as part of an integrated package of care, which may cover both the hospital and community [2]. The literature review found that older people, those with multiple pathology, and those with some specific clinical conditions (such as neurological deficit and stroke) are most at risk. A small number of studies suggest that patients waiting for a place in their first.
