Discharging the patient who lives alone

La dimissione del paziente che vive solo · Healthcare · Beginner

The case

A 79-year-old patient, hospitalized for an operated femur fracture, is clinically dischargeable: the average stay has already been exceeded and the ward is under bed pressure. But he lives alone on a third floor without a lift, has no children nearby, cannot manage stairs and will not for weeks. He minimizes (I will manage, I always have), the head nurse flags the case, and management pushes for discharge. Discharging him as-is is a readmission waiting to happen. How do you manage the discharge?

Un paziente di 79 anni, ricoverato per una frattura di femore operata, è clinicamente dimissibile: la degenza media è già superata e il reparto ha pressione sui posti letto. Ma vive solo al terzo piano senza ascensore, non ha figli in zona, non è autonomo nelle scale e non lo sarà per settimane. Lui minimizza (mi arrangio, ho sempre fatto così), la caposala segnala il caso, e la direzione sollecita la dimissione. Dimetterlo così è un rientro in ospedale annunciato. Come gestisci la dimissione?
