Complex Care Discharge
Complex care discharge support is for clients returning home with more complex medical or care needs, requiring a higher level of coordinated support during the transition.
How this support can help
- Support for clients discharged with complex medical or care needs
- Care routines built around detailed medical instructions and equipment needs
- Coordination with hospital care teams and community providers
- Nursing-level oversight where required
- Ongoing communication with the healthcare team throughout the transition
Review the requirements before accepting a care arrangement
Complex transitions need clear information about the person's care requirements and the support already arranged. Contact AWoC with the discharge team so that responsibilities, equipment, clinical instructions, and staffing can be reviewed together. The service must be assessed for suitability before it is confirmed. Avoid assuming that all hospital-level care can be delivered in the home.
Questions for your Caring Consult
- Which care tasks require clinical staff or specific training?
- Who is responsible for supplies, equipment, and follow-up?
- What arrangements apply if needs change or the discharge date moves?
