A post-discharge health follow-up form for hospitals and surgical units — capture recovery milestones, wound status, medication restarts, red-flag symptoms, home situation and the 72-hour callback plan.
Quick answer
A post-discharge follow-up form captures recovery milestones, wound status, medication restarts, red-flag symptoms and home situation so hospitals can catch readmission risks in the first 72 hours.

Most preventable readmissions happen in the first 72 hours after discharge, and most of them were signalled — a fever, a soaked dressing, a missed medication restart. This follow-up form goes out to the patient on the day of discharge and again on day two and day three; every response includes a red-flag block that pings a nurse if triggered. It also confirms home situation and medication reconciliation.
