Going Home

Helpful Information for Patients Leaving University Hospitals Seidman Cancer Center

We know the transition from hospital to home can be stressful for patients and families. Our goal is to make that move as smooth and safe as possible.

Our medical team will discuss a patient’s discharge plan with him or her and his or her family in advance to ensure a smooth transition. Patients are encouraged to raise any concerns they have about going home early in the process. Individuals should contact their nurse if they have special concerns related to the day of discharge.

Satisfaction Surveys

Patient satisfaction surveys help us better understand our patients’ needs and improve our service to all patients. A survey may be mailed to your home after you have been discharged. If you receive a survey, we would very much appreciate your taking a few minutes to complete it and return it to us.
