Purpose
The Leaving Hospital Well CoP is a national platform for health professionals to share their expertise, identify best practice for working with younger people with disability and complex support needs within the reform of the NDIS, and provide a supportive learning environment within the evolving context of health and the NDIS.
Outcomes for the CoP include:
- Identify best practice in discharge planning within the context of health and the NDIS
- Ensure practitioners have the most up-to-date information on the NDIS and health interface
- Develop expertise and leadership within the CoP member group
- Identify strategies to improve patient/participant outcomes, that can be shared across health networks
- Strengthen communication and consistency of practice at the health and NDIS interface
Learning
This platform will enable innovation sharing and promote positive communication and professional insight, for the ultimate benefit of health professionals and the people with disabilities that they support. Opportunities will be taken from this shared thinking to inform and influence policy and practice around the health and NDIS interface.
Additional Information
While the Summer Foundation can help set up an effective and useful foundation for providers involved in discharge, the long-term aim is that this CoP will become sustainable without their input.
