What is early hospital discharge?
In 2013, the number of hospital readmissions in England was at over one million, 27% higher than the year before. More recent figures from 2017 show that 71,000 patients were back in hospital within only 24 hours of being sent home and discharged from hospital.
In the past few years, almost £50 million has been paid out in medical negligence compensation to people who needed to be readmitted to hospital after being prematurely discharged from the hospital.
In instances of early hospital discharge, doctors, nurses, and medical staff discharge a patient from hospital prematurely, and before they are fit and healthy enough to be discharged. This can lead to further injury or illness to the patient, and worsening of their condition that required further medical treatment.
Why have I been sent home early from hospital?
With growing pressure on the NHS for patient numbers, and overcrowding of hospitals, there is a growing need for staff to get patients in and out of hospital as quickly as possible, in order to free up space and medical staff for new patients, and reduce patient waiting time.
A study in 2011 showed that some discharge arrangements are ‘shambolic and ill prepared’. The study found a number of issues, including: patients being discharged from hospital before they are clinically ready to be discharged patients not being assessed or consulted properly before their discharge people being discharged without a proper home care plan in place.
In many of these cases, the premature discharge or incorrect patient discharge procedure led to further illness for the patient, or even the wrongful death of patients.

Was my hospital discharge dangerous?
If you are reading this post, you might be wondering, ‘was my hospital discharge dangerous’, and ‘have I been prematurely discharged from hospital?’. Dangerous hospital discharge is not uncommon, but is made up of more than a simple premature hospital discharge. A dangerous hospital discharge is when a patient is not only discharged early from hospital, but there are no proper steps taken to ensure their safety. This includes a lack of home-care planning, and a failure to inform family members.
In cases of dangerous hospital discharge, then negligence is often much more obvious on the part of the hospital staff. Your discharge from hospital was not only early, but it was carried out negligently, and the proper steps to prevent further injury or illness were not taken.
