Discharge Options for OTs

This episode of OT Conversations looks into various patient discharge options and scenarios encountered by occupational therapists in NHS. Hao discusses a range of discharge outcomes, from straightforward discharge to home without aid, to more complex situations requiring informal family support, adaptive aids, short-term care, and even palliative care. Emphasis is given to the occupational therapists' role in assessing patients' functional status, coordinating with families and social services, and planning for equipment needs or specialised care. Different scenarios like discharge to another facility, community units, and provision for palliative support are also discussed.
