When an individual is discharged from the hospital back to the provider agency what is the status of the orders for medications and treatments that were in place prior to the hospitalization?
At the time of discharge from the hospital, all orders for medications/treatments must be re-ordered by the HCP. If medication and treatment orders for the client are to be continued as they were at the time of the admission to the hospital, an order authorizing the continuation of all pre-hospital orders must be written. For example, resume previous medication and treatment orders.
