Hospital Readmission Patient Survey

Hospital readmissions are costly, disruptive, and often preventable. This Hospital Readmission Patient Survey template helps healthcare providers assess discharge readiness, evaluate patient understanding of post-discharge care, and identify potential gaps that could lead to complications or readmission.

Designed for hospitals, clinics, and healthcare facilities focused on patient safety and quality improvement, this survey covers medication comprehension, symptom recognition, follow-up care scheduling, and discharge confidence. By capturing this critical information before or shortly after discharge, care teams can intervene early, provide additional education, and ensure patients feel prepared to manage their recovery at home.

Why this matters for healthcare providers:

Readmission rates directly impact quality metrics, reimbursement, and patient outcomes. This template helps you systematically evaluate whether patients understand their medications, recognize warning signs, and have the support systems in place for successful recovery. The structured assessment creates a clear audit trail and identifies high-risk patients who may benefit from additional discharge planning or follow-up calls.

Built for healthcare workflows:

With Paperform's conditional logic, you can tailor questions based on diagnosis, treatment type, or patient responses—ensuring the survey adapts to each individual's needs. Connect responses to your EHR, CRM, or case management system to trigger follow-up workflows, flag at-risk patients, or generate reports for quality improvement committees.

For organizations managing discharge planning across multiple units or facilities, Stepper can automate post-discharge workflows—sending medication reminders, scheduling follow-up calls, routing high-risk patients to care coordinators, and keeping your team aligned on patient status without manual handoffs.

This template includes sections on discharge preparedness, medication understanding, symptom monitoring education, care transition support, and satisfaction with the discharge process. It's a professional, patient-centered tool that supports better outcomes while demonstrating your commitment to quality care and patient safety.
