Patient Discharge Swimlane BPMN

Hospital Patient Discharge Swimlane BPMN

A hospital patient discharge swimlane diagram makes the ownership of each handoff clear. The nurse begins the discharge preparation, the doctor approves the discharge and provides instructions, and pharmacy prepares medications. The final nursing review ensures that the patient receives the instructions before leaving. The lanes are the key part of the drawing because they show who must act next. Adapt the tasks to the facility's real workflow, including transport, follow-up, patient education, or billing steps when they apply. This process map supports discussion and training; it does not replace clinical judgment, patient-specific planning, or hospital policy. Review it whenever responsibilities or discharge procedures change.
