Discharge delays are one of those problems that spoil the overall pleasant experience inside the hospital. The study was conducted to identify the reasons and determinants of discharge delay in acute patients care. Delayed discharge is usually associated with a patient's medical conditions, delayed health care or medical advice, delayed diagnostic services, and delayed related health services. This paper deals with the discharge delay of inpatients in a selected hospital. An annexure was prepared to see the time taken by patients from the time of discharge till they actually leave the hospital premises. The outcome that is expected from this study was to identify the reasons for the delay of discharge and to come up with suggestions to reduce them.
