On the 32-bed medical/surgical unit at our community hospital, the average discharge time (from the time the provider wrote the order to the time when the patient was physically discharged) was 5 hours and 6 minutes. Safe, effective, and timely discharge requires good communication among the healthcare team, the patient, and the family.
