As a community social services assistant, I work directly with pediatric patients that have been discharged from St. Vincent Hospital. When meeting with patients post discharge, I have noticed that they are often confused about the types of services they require. I have considered various options to address this issue and have come up with a potential solution. Hospital admissions can be overwhelming for young children; I am suggesting we trial providing homecare information in a more fun and less intimidating manner. I am suggesting we hire a popular local clown named Claris who performs at children’s parties .Claris is passionate about helping children, and would be able to explain homecare information in a fun and interactive way that would be easier for children to understand.

In April of 1994, in Fort Lee, VA, she met her husband, Richard. A month later I entered the world, and she was given a choice; leave me with a family member and return to Kuwait, or be discharged from the Army. Having already left behind one child she chose to be discharged as well as to settle down and have a family with Richard. Three years later they welcomed a beautiful baby girl into the world, and the next year a baby boy. To people on the outside looking in they were a perfect family, but looks can be deceiving.

There are many steps to the discharge process and while it is important to think big one should focus on starting small to achieve short-term wins. Demonstrating quick wins will help foster increased engagement. One area to gain a quick win is to partner with community physicians by arranging follow-up appointments prior to discharge. In a recent study Bradley et al. (2014) data indicates that this effort contributed to a 0.52 percentage point reduction in readmissions (Bradley et al., 2013, para. 2). Another area to introduce new practice is in increasing the number of at-risk patients who receive referrals to home health care and post-discharge phone calls. “The effect of home visits reported that with continuous post-discharge home care,

The instructions should be supplementary to information and guidelines verbally given, and should be concise and easy to read. The instructions should include the veterinarian’s name and the medical staff’s phone number line, as well as the hospital’s general phone numbers, hours, and address.

As you know Sir I completed a package to possibly have an opportunity to be a Coast Guard Recruiter. In my initial attempt to have my package endorsed by the command, admin would not sign the endorsement due to preview CG-3307, that was interpreted as a violation of the Arts. 2.B.1 Discrimination.

I enjoyed reading your post. Your response to the discussion question and your thoughts on terminating a client is similar to my companies discharge plan. One of the criteria to our discharge plan is to go back and review each individual family member desired outcome. We have them express if they feel their desired outcome was met or if there is some issues/concerns we have not addressed. I feel this is an important aspect to address because it not only give you the therapist/counselor and idea of the progress you have made with the family but it also provides the family with a sense of impowerment. It shows the family you do care about their issues/concerns and those issues/concerns matter.
