Navigate a hospital stay — for yourself or someone you care for — from admission through a safe discharge, so nothing critical falls through the cracks. Use when asked help me through a hospital stay, my parent is in the hospital, prepare for a hospital admission, or what do I need to know for the hospital. Produces what to bring and organize, how to stay informed and involved with the care team, the questions to ask daily, the discharge planning to start early (not at the last minute), and the home-readiness checklist for after — reducing the chaos and the dangerous gaps, especially at discharge. Not medical advice.
“My mother's been admitted to hospital — help me navigate it.”“I have surgery coming up — how do I prepare for the hospital stay?”“What should I ask the care team each day?”“How do I make sure my dad's discharge home is actually safe?”“What do I need ready at home before they're discharged?”
What to give it
▸Who & why — yourself or someone you care for, and the reason for the stay (planned surgery vs. emergency)
▸The situation — expected length, condition, and who's coordinating
▸Home situation — who they'll go home to, and what support exists
▸Your role — patient, primary caregiver, or coordinating from afar
▸Concerns — specific worries (confusion, mobility, meds, being sent home too soon)
✅ The bar it holds itself to
Every skill in this library self-verifies — these are this skill's own quality checks, straight from its definition.
✓Covers what to bring and organize (incl. documents/advance directive)
✓Includes staying informed and involved with the care team
✓Provides daily questions to ask
✓Emphasizes starting discharge planning early
✓Has a home-readiness checklist that prevents readmission
✓States it's navigation support, not medical advice
⚠️ What it refuses to do
**Leaving discharge planning** to the last minute.
**Not tracking** the team, meds, and plan.
**Being a passive bystander** in the care.
**Going home** without the meds/follow-up/warning-signs nailed down.
**Offering medical advice** rather than navigation.
