Who determines when it is time for a patient to be discharged from rehabilitative services?
Whitehall Boca uses a team-based assessment to work with patients and their families in setting goals for discharge planning within a realistic time frame. That assessment occurs shortly after admittance and includes professionals from case management and social services, plus therapists appropriate to the patient’s particular condition. The team talks to the patient and family members about all aspects of the patient’s condition, then develops a plan of care and estimated length of stay.Of course, the team — along with the patient’s physician — continually monitors progress and makes adjustments when needed.
