Checklist
Returning Home & Follow-Up Checklist
The trip home is part of the treatment. Leaving with complete records and a clear follow-up plan is what turns a successful visit into lasting care.
Before leaving Cincinnati
- Visit or discharge summary in hand — and understood
- Copies of new records, reports, and imaging for your local team
- Every medication clear: name, dose, schedule, and how to get it at home
- Follow-up plan confirmed: appointments, remote visits, tests to do locally
- Warning signs explained: what to watch for and what to do
- Flight clearance confirmed with the care team, if relevant
First weeks at home
- Appointment with your local physician, records delivered
- Local pharmacy plan for ongoing medications
- Remote follow-up visits scheduled, if the provider offers them
- Questions routed through the provider’s official channels — your coordinator can help
Closing the case
- A complete written record of the journey kept by the family
- Feedback shared with your coordinator — it improves the service for the next family
- Data-retention preferences confirmed — ask what we keep and what we delete
This checklist is general information, not medical, legal, or immigration advice. Requirements vary by hospital and country — your coordinator confirms the specifics for your case.
