With the large expense of installing a large quantity of large screen tv's over the last several years, it would only make sense to use them to the fullest capacity. Designate one specific channel to Discharge teaching only, which can be designed to specific needs or departments. We can make patients aware of this option at time of admssion to reduce the time spend at discharge. Many patients are given a limited choice of channels which are watched for many hours a day, to pass the time.  Many questions or information can be provided to the patient during the hospitalization which in turn will lead to earlier discharge times. Adding a Discharge Teaching Channel would keep patients and family informed about the expectations at time of discharge.
