Current Practice for Discharge Planning in Recreational Therapy
Session Description
This session will review current research on the practice of discharge planning by recreational therapists. The session will be divided between lecture on research practices and a workshop where therapists can engage in discussion on discharge planning, work on discharge plans, and compare/create policies. Participants attending are asked to be aware of the current discharge procedure at their place of employment to be able to engage in discussion. The research reviewed will be most closely related to inpatient physical rehabilitation and subacute rehab, but all settings and areas of practice are welcome to participate.
