Pre-Discharge Relapse Prevention Checklist

To be used in the discharge CPA for individuals with at least 3 admissions in 3 years

This document aims to ensure holistic discharge planning has occurred collaboratively between SEDU, CEDS and the person being discharged to promote recovery and avoid the need for further admissions.

Have the CEDS, SEDU and service user reflected on previous discharges, and periods of leave, to inform final discharge plan /package?  

Have necessary referrals been made to ensure support is ready on discharge, including for co-morbid conditions?

 

Have intensive community support options been considered?

 
Has the community team informed SEDU and service user of any change in community care team compared to prior to admission?  

Have there been periods of home leave with review by community team to ease transition?

 

Has the Empowered communications template been followed?

 

Ensure handover of psychological work and formulation from the SEDU to the community team

 
Does the service user have the necessary resources to allow them to engage with the plan (e.g. means of travelling to appointments)  
Is there evidence the current psychological approach is effective or that an alternative approach may be beneficial?  

Has wider support on discharge e.g. charities, housing, social, education been considered?

 

Has the plan for family involvement in the community been agreed by all?

 

Have the family been offered carer support?

 

Would it be useful to identify threshold for readmission?
