Your role in your care is to follow all the directions from your doctor
after you are released from the hospital. You also need to
keep up with any other daily healthcare needs resulting from
diabetes, heart disease, COPD, or any other medical condition you may have.
Your CARE PLAN is any instructions your doctor gives you for after- hospital care. This may include new medications, surgical site care, limits on your diet or physical activity. If you don’t understand your CARE PLAN ask until you do.
