  • “Exploring the Differences Between Inpatient Care Plans and Discharge Plans: Implications for Healthcare Service Providers”

    please respomd to the discussion post 
    Inpatient care plans differ from discharge plans many different ways starting from to for whom the instructions are for.  For example the inpatient care plan will be addressed to the care team and be very detailed to include information such as patient history, diagnosis and plans to make them better.  The discharge  plan is for the patient mainly and includes instructions for self care and necessary collaborations such as follow-up appointments.  The section of the inpatient care plan important to a HSP may be diagnosis, as a start for understanding what services they will potentially need.  For example, Jean having had a stroke, thereby needing physical therapy.  The HSP would make the calls and appointments for her to transition from the hospital to a physical therapy center.  Evidence based practices are necessary in the discharge plan. As for the discharge plan, the personal instructions area may be of interest to the HSP because they will help clear any barriers to the patient’s continued care, such as transportation and nutritional needs that can be provided by a network agency.

  • “The Power of Giving: My Childhood Experience with St. Jude Children’s Hospital”

    .I grew up in a small town in Michigan that really didn’t have much to offer kids to do in the summer except for mainly riding our bikes. If you didn’t have a bike to ride, your best bet would be to ride on either the pegs or the handle bars of one of your friends. One other option was to wait for the annual Bike-A-Thon for St. Judes Children Hospitals and hope that you raised first the most pledges and then could borrow someones bike and ride the most miles to win the big prize of a brand new bike. About two weeks before the big day, St. Jude would disperse the pledge sheets and have all the information about the race. They would also include in the packet what the money that was earned that day would be spent on with in the organization. 
    St. Jude Childrens Hospital is a nonprofit hospital in which kids with cancer can go and receive their cancer treatments at no cost to the family. St. Jude also helps with room and board and meals so that families can focus on their child and still be close to the hospital. The workers at St. Jude know and understand that having a child diagnosed with cancer can be a very stressful and scary time. They work together and with the families to do what they can to help in anyway possible. But they don’t stop there, some of the money they bring in through activities like Bike-A-Thons is used to research new treatment options for different cancers. 
    St. Jude’s dedication to helping families and research has carried them into one of the leading hospitals of its time. The doctors, nurses, and executive staff share the desire to help others. I don’t believe an organization like St. Jude could occur in a for-profit environment, mainly because they would charge families for the treatments and housing. For-profit organizations are in the business of making money and therefore giving away free services would take away from the bottom line and take money from the directors and on down the line.  

  • “The Distinct Purposes of Inpatient Care Plans and Discharge Plans: Understanding the Differences and the Role of Human Services Professionals”

    .Examining the inpatient care plan and discharge plan examples from the module resources reveals that these two plans serve distinct purposes in the continuum of care for individuals. The main differences between an inpatient care plan and a discharge plan lie in their focus and objectives.
    An inpatient care plan is a comprehensive document that outlines the immediate treatment goals, interventions, and monitoring strategies while a patient is receiving care within a healthcare facility. It involves medical assessments, medication schedules, therapeutic interventions, and communication protocols between healthcare providers. This level of detail underscores the depth of care required during a patient’s stay. In contrast, a discharge plan is designed to transition the individual from the inpatient setting back to their community or a lower level of care, and includes post-discharge recommendations, follow-up appointments, medication management instructions, and community resources for ongoing support.
    One key difference is that an inpatient care plan is more medically focused, addressing the patient’s immediate treatment needs and monitoring. In contrast, a discharge plan emphasizes continuity of care, lifestyle adjustments, and long-term wellness strategies beyond the hospital stay.
    For human services professionals, the most relevant information in the inpatient care plan may be the sections detailing the patient’s psychosocial needs, support system, and any history of substance abuse or trauma. Understanding these factors can help human services professionals provide tailored support and interventions to address the individual’s holistic well-being. In the discharge plan, information on community resources, medication management, and follow-up care is crucial for human services professionals to ensure a smooth transition and continued support for the individual post-discharge.
    Human services professionals play a vital role in the continuum of care. By carefully reviewing and integrating information from both the inpatient care plan and discharge plan, they can provide tailored support to individuals in their recovery journey. This approach not only supports the individual post-discharge but also promotes overall wellness beyond the confines of the healthcare setting, underscoring the importance of their role
