Delaware SB301 mandates hospitals to create discharge plans for pregnant patients expected to be discharged before delivery.
Delaware SB301 amends Title 16 of the Delaware Code to require hospitals to create discharge plans for pregnant patients who are experiencing signs or symptoms consistent with labor and are expected to be discharged before delivery. The plan must be discussed with the patient, the patient's agent, and the patient's lay caregiver. The discharge plan must include clinical justification, aftercare instructions, medication management guidelines, and identification of aftercare tasks. The hospital must also provide training to the lay caregiver and notify them of the patient's discharge.
