"If I felt it would be dangerous to send a patient home, I would write a note of necessity for continued admission, on medical grounds, so that UR could submit it for approval from a third-party payer. If the patient just wanted to stay out of convenience, I would explain that he or she has satisfied criteria for discharge, but I would also offer home health follow-up if the patient desired and it were allowed/authorized."
