§483.21(c)(1) Discharge Planning Process
The facility must develop and implement an
effective discharge planning process that
focuses on the resident's discharge goals, the
preparation of residents to be active partners
and effectively transition them to postdischarge care, and the reduction of factors
leading to preventable readmissions. The
facility's discharge planning process must be
consistent with the discharge rights set forth at
483.15(b) as applicable and(i) Ensure that the discharge needs of each
resident are identified and result in the
development of a discharge plan for each
resident.
(ii) Include regular re-evaluation of residents to
identify changes that require modification of the
discharge plan. The discharge plan must be
updated, as needed, to reflect these changes.
(iii) Involve the interdisciplinary team, as
defined by §483.21(b)(2)(ii), in the ongoing
process of developing the discharge plan.
(iv) Consider caregiver/support person
availability and the resident's or
caregiver's/support person(s) capacity and
capability to perform required care, as part of
the identification of discharge needs.
