The transition of care from hospital to home can significantly impact patient health outcomes and their overall care experience. Recognizing and addressing common nutrition support-related barriers to discharge during hospital admission can help ensure a smooth transition, relieve patient stress, minimize insurance coverage concerns and difficulties, and prevent unwanted readmissions.

Learning Objectives

1. Identify potential barriers to a smooth transition of care from hospital to home for patients receiving enteral or parenteral nutrition.
   
2. List common insurance requirements (Medicare, Medicaid, and private insurance) for coverage of home enteral or parenteral nutrition.
   
3. Formulate a safe discharge plan from hospital to home for a patient transitioning home with enteral or parenteral nutrition.
