The social worker would work with inpatients to develop a safe and adequate discharge plan.
Discharge planning begins on day one of admission and the social worker would identify
resources needed for each particular patient. The social worker would ensure that all patients
have a safe place to return to/go to upon discharge. They would work with outpatient providers
to make follow-up appointments and would assist the patient with any other resources needed to
facilitate stability after discharge. The social worker would manage the legal status of all
inpatients and ensure initiation and completion of all proper paperwork to include voluntary and
involuntary statuses. The social worker is an integral part of the interdisciplinary team and
would attend/participate in all treatment team meetings.
