Care Plan Conferences

[IBARN96]

I am having a real delimma getting my team to conduct care plan conferences on our sub-acute unit-ultimate excuse is they are only in the facility 10-20days.  Out of curiosity how are the rest of you arranging care plan conferences for sub-acute? Currently our Social worker calls the family within 72 of admission, introduces themselves and states that if at anytime they want a family conference one can be scheduled.  I am uncomfortable with this as this is no documentation to support that we offered the family a care plan conference and whether or not the accepted or declines.  Who notifies the families on conferences and how?  Do to our turn over 120 admissions/discharges a month we do not have care conferences unless the family requests one.  Is this acceptable?  Any recommendations on care conferences how to get them going, content of conference with or without family etc would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks Lisa Aurora, CO
