It was always my understanding that discharge planning starts on the day of admission. It seems to me that discharge planning is key to therapy plans, assessment scheduling, etc. Lately I have gotten more than one request from a Social Worker to skill a resident for an extra day or two for "discharge planning" after Therapy discontinues and there is no further skilled need. Just wondering if this is legitimate to do - as it has happened we have not had to implement it because the residents discharged sooner than expected but I am not sure what I am to do if it becomes a real situation. Advice?
