Discharge Hospitality Suite

At Inova Fairfax Medical Campus we have a special lounge for patients who are ready to be discharged but waiting for an additional step such as medication to be filled or transportation home. A caregiver will bring you to the Discharge Hospitality Suite, where you will complete your stay with us.

The Discharge Hospitality Suite is conveniently located in the South Patient Tower Lobby, adjacent to the Diagnostic Imaging Department. The suite offers comfortable seating, complimentary snacks and a locked area for your valuables.

It is important that you begin preparing for discharge as early as possible. If you have questions about your discharge plan, please ask your nurse or care coordinator.

Please review additional important information to help you prepare for when you leave the hospital:

After discharge from the hospital, patients, guardians or parents of minor patients may receive copies of medical records for a nominal charge after submitting a written request. For more information, call ext. 63307.

How to request Medical Records

If you require home health services or placement in a long- or short-term nursing/rehabilitation facility, a care coordinator or social worker will work with you to coordinate these services. Inova VNA Home Health, Northern Virginia’s leading agency for providing care at home, brings skilled and caring healthcare services directly to you, in the comfort of your home, following surgical procedures or hospitalization. Call Inova VNA Home Health at 571-432-3100. A list of other providers and suppliers is available from the Case Management Department at ext. 63508.

The most valuable feedback we receive is from you – our patient. As part of our commitment to provide excellent patient care, many of our patients are surveyed to measure their level of satisfaction with their hospital experience. You may be asked questions relating to:

  • Communication with your nurses and doctors
  • Responsiveness of staff
  • Pain management
  • Cleanliness and quietness of our hospital
  • Discharge and medication information
  • Overall ability to recommend us as your healthcare provider

The survey is conducted via postal mail or email after you return home. All surveys are anonymous unless you sign your name to both mail and email. Your feedback helps us identify opportunities for improvement, and recognize those areas in which we excel.
