Hospital-to-Home Discharge Kit

The next 72 hours matter most. This 12-page printable kit gives you one place to write down what the care team tells you, track every medication change, and know exactly when a symptom means it's time to call.

Why this kit exists

Hospital discharge happens fast. You’re handed a stack of paperwork, a new medication list, and instructions you’re expected to remember — often while exhausted, worried, and trying to arrange a ride home. It’s one of the riskiest moments in a person’s care, and it’s rarely because anyone did anything wrong. It’s because there’s almost never a good system for catching everything in the moment.

This kit is that system. It isn’t a 70-page caregiver binder you’ll open once and never touch again — it’s 12 focused pages built around the actual first 72 hours and first week: what to confirm before you leave, what to track once you’re home, and exactly when a symptom means it’s time to call for help.

Fill in what applies to your situation. Leave the rest blank. Bring it to appointments. Post the Red Flags page on the fridge. It’s meant to be used, not admired.

What's Inside

A look at every page

Before You Leave Checklist
A go/no-go checklist to use while still in the hospital — paperwork, medications, and logistics before discharge.

Notes & Questions
Space to capture what the care team says on the spot, plus questions to ask before you leave.

Medications Tracker
A table for every medication — what it's for, dose, timing, prescriber, and refill status.

Medications: Changes & Notes
A place to record what was stopped or changed, and what needs a refill soon.

Red Flags — When to Call
A color-coded page separating "call the doctor" symptoms from "call 911" symptoms, made to post on the fridge.

Home Readiness Checklist
A short safety and logistics check for the first days home — clear paths, lighting, equipment, and supplies.

Follow-Up Appointment Tracker
One table for every scheduled or needed appointment, so nothing slips through.

Questions for the Doctor/Care Team
A running list to jot down questions between visits so nothing is forgotten.

First Week at Home Notes
Optional daily space for the first week to track how things are going.

Extra Notes & Reminders
Overflow space for anything else — insurance notes, helpful staff names, community resources.

Is This Right For You?

An honest answer, either way

This is for you if:

You or a family member is being discharged from the hospital soon — or already is home — and need to keep track of everything at once.
You've felt rushed or overwhelmed during a discharge and want a system in place for next time.
More than one person is helping with care and needs a shared, agreed-upon place for information.
You want a simple paper-based system you fill out by hand — no app, login, or setup required.

This might not be the right fit if:

You're looking for medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment guidance — this is an organizational tool only.
You need a fully digital, cloud-synced tracking system rather than a printable PDF.
You'd rather work from a blank notebook than a structured template.
