Mental Healthcare Act 2017 mandates that proper discharge planning should be done and documented before any discharge is done from MHEs. Discharge planning should be based on a thorough assessment of the needs of the patient. Family should be actively involved in the planning process. Necessary steps should be taken for referral to other services, especially those in the community. Discharge planning helps us to balance the goals of the treatment at admission, to reality check at the time of discharge. Adequacy of discharge planning can be ensured by using various published checklists.
《2017年精神卫生保健法》规定,在从精神卫生机构出院前,应进行适当的出院计划并记录在案。出院计划应基于对患者需求的全面评估。家属应积极参与计划制定过程。应采取必要措施转介至其他服务机构,尤其是社区中的服务机构。出院计划有助于我们平衡入院时的治疗目标与出院时的现实情况。通过使用各种已发布的检查表,可以确保出院计划的充分性。
