Core Tip	Intensive care unit (ICU) discharge without transferring to a lower dependency unit is gaining attention as an alternative to traditional discharge methods. This approach offers potential cost savings, increased patient comfort, and reduced complications associated with prolonged hospital stays. However, successful implementation requires careful patient selection and robust post-discharge support services. Establishing specific criteria for patient selection and ensuring comprehensive post-discharge care is crucial, ultimately balancing patient-centered care with efficient resource utilization in ICU discharge practices. The potential for early patient recovery and cost saving is magnanimous, as seen in recent studies.
