If a patient or a patient’s legal guardian designates a caregiver, the hospital shall notify the caregiver of the patient’s discharge from the hospital or transfer to another facility as soon as practicable which may be after the patient’s physician issues a discharge or transfer order.

The hospital shall document all attempts to contact the caregiver in the patient's medical record.
