Discharge Report

In this assessment task, you will be facilitating Jim discharge from hospital to his home. Each student’s report will be different as Jim lives in the same suburb or town in which you reside.

For example, if you live in Norwood, Jim lives in Norwood, if you live in Sheffield, Jim lives in Sheffield.  If you live in Woolloomooloo…

You will be exploring the services and options available in your local community.

• This assessment task is not only focused on Jim; as Jim was his wife’s carer prior to his admission you will need to consider what needs to be put in place to support Jim and his wife.
• This is not an essay, rather a report – which gives you the freedom to include images, tables, flowcharts, headings, forms etc. Please ensure your report has a logical flow.
• You may write your report in the first or third person (however do not swap between the two, be consistent).
• Jim wishes to remain in his own home, he does not wish and will not discuss the option of residential aged care for himself or Amara (Amara feels the same). Jim and Amara will also not discuss respite care options or moving to a smaller house or unit – they want to stay in their own home.
• Jim’s CVAD was removed prior to discharge.
• Please read the rubric for this assessment task

 

• Case Report Task Description In this unit you have been following the journey of Jim Karas from the acutecare hospital setting to his return to the community. This assessment requires you to develop a tailored discharge plan for Mr. Karas. He is being discharged home to the same suburb/town in which you live, and therefore you will need to seek information on services available to meet his (and his family’s) complex needs in your local community. You will need to consider the transfer of information between differing services during his care transition. Mr. Karas does not wish for his admission diagnosis to be disclosed or discussed.
