Getting out of the hospital and back home should be a smooth process, but for NDIS participants, it often comes with a lot of extra steps. The Faster Hospital Discharge Program is designed to make this transition as easy as possible, ensuring that participants get the care and support they need when they need it most.
In this post, we’ll explain how the program works, why it’s beneficial, and how TDL Disability Support can help make the discharge process quicker and less stressful for NDIS participants.
What’s the Faster Hospital Discharge Program?
The Faster Hospital Discharge Program helps NDIS participants leave the hospital sooner by coordinating everything they need to transition back home. This means the right care is arranged before they leave, making the entire process smoother, faster, and less stressful.
When it comes to NDIS participants, this isn’t just about sending them home with a bunch of instructions. It’s about making sure everything—from personal care to therapy—is set up and ready to go. That way, they can get back to their daily lives without unnecessary delays.
How Does it Work?
Here’s what makes the program so effective:
-
Planning Ahead
The goal is to start planning the discharge process early, well before the participant is ready to go home. This ensures that there’s no last-minute rush to organize services, and everything is lined up to provide a smooth transition. -
Tailored Support
Every NDIS participant has different needs. That’s why the program tailors support plans to fit each person’s unique situation. Whether it’s home care, therapy, or transportation, the care plan ensures everything is ready for when they get home. -
Support Coordination
NDIS support coordinators play a huge role here. They work with hospitals, families, and care providers to make sure all the services are in place for a fast and easy discharge. -
Quick Access to Home Care
As soon as the participant leaves the hospital, they’ll be set up with the support they need—whether that’s help with daily tasks, transport, or medical equipment. -
Faster Recovery
Spending less time in the hospital means participants can start their recovery at home, which is often more comfortable and conducive to healing.
