Discharge

Within Physical Therapy, 'Discharge' signifies the formal release of a patient from a treatment program, indicating that the therapeutic goals have been met or that further therapy is not expected to yield additional benefits. This term encapsulates the culmination of a patient's journey through rehabilitation, highlighting their recovery and readiness to resume daily activities without therapeutic intervention.

The discharge process is multifaceted, involving a final assessment of the patient's condition, the completion of all necessary documentation, and the provision of a discharge summary that outlines the therapy provided, outcomes achieved, and any recommendations for future care. It's a moment of celebration for both the patient and the therapist, symbolizing the achievement of therapeutic objectives and the patient's return to optimal function.
