 Key Components of Treatment Discharge Planning Discharge planning is a critical part of each resident’s treatment. In general, the resident is recommended for successful discharge when he or she has demonstrated a significant decrease in the symptoms that led to admission and has demonstrated reasonable success in structured community reintegration activities. Transitional services are offered to ensure each resident has appropriate skills and family or other adult support necessary for successful community reintegration. Discharge planning begins upon admission and involves identifying potential step-down placement(s) and services. The resident, legal guardian, referral source, and therapist case manager are involved in this process. Treatment goals and discharge criteria will be consistent with the potential step-down options. Discharge plans are prepared by the clinical staff and include presenting problems at admission, a summary of the course of treatment, progress toward each treatment goal, identification of remaining treatment issues, and recommendations for aftercare. Clinical staff are available during the transition process to provide on-site consultation to staff in the resident's step-down placement. Clinical and/or direct care staff will also be available to accompany residents during initial passes or provide initial consultation following discharge. |
