What this app is for
This app helps you after the hospital sends you home. Through your first month home, it helps you organize the discharge plan your care team already wrote. You can keep track of medicines, follow-up visits, and the warning signs your doctor already listed. The app does not replace your care team.

How the two apps work together.
Use My Hospital Rights while you or your loved one is in the hospital. It is free.
When it is time to go home, MyDischargePlan helps you organize the discharge plan your care team already gave you.
You or a hospital may pay for this app.
This is not medical advice.
MyDischargePlan helps you organize the discharge plan and instructions your care team already gave you.
It is not a substitute for care from a doctor, nurse, or other licensed clinician.
Do not start, stop, or change a medicine based on this app.
For any health concern, talk with your care team. In an emergency, call 911.
About numbers and warning signs.
The numbers and warning signs in this app come from your discharge papers or from what your doctor told you.
We help you keep them in one place and remind you what your care team already said to do next, such as call the nurse line, call the doctor, or call 911.
We do not choose those limits for you.
