Case study
Glenaurie and Tabletop Community Case Study (Module 1 and 2)
The Geraint family have been liaising regularly with the healthcare team in the hospital to facilitate the transfer of Jason backto his local community. His rehabilitation, medical, and socialcare needs need to be identified and addressed before the transferto ensure his local community can support Jason and his family.
Background
Inter-Hospital Transfer and Rehabilitation
You have been assigned as the case manager for Jason at theTabletop Hospital, and this requires you to facilitate his transferback to the Tabletop Community so they can arrange his home-basedrehabilitation in a remote community.
Assessment
Jason has an amputated right arm, fractured legs, and braininjury sustained from his motor vehicle accident (MVA), and he willrequire extensive rehabilitation and habilitation. He currently hasdifficulty with his communication including both speech andthinking process and will require ongoing treatment and assessmentto rebuild his functional skills. He has also been experiencingbouts of depression concerning his injuries and needs to re-trainfor future employment.
Glenauire hospital has a limited time frame for inpatientrehabilitation so Jason will be transferred to the Tabletopcommunity before he has fully recovered. The goal of ongoing careis to maximise Jason’s level of function and help him transitionfrom hospital to independent living in the community. Hisrehabilitation may last from a few months to years, depending onthe type and severity of the disability. Participation in socialand community activities will be an important goal for Jason as hetransitions back into the workforce.
Situation
Jason’s inter-hospital transfer is being planned and organisedby a social worker and a nurse at the Glenaurie Hospital in theRehabilitation Ward. Over the last two weeks, limited communicationconcerning the transfer has occurred; also bed shortages,incomplete documentation of the rehabilitation and nursingtreatment plans, and staff shortages have exacerbated the delay.This problem has been escalated to nursing and medical managementwho have expressed frustration directly to you about thesituation.
The transfer will be by air ambulance, and the case manager atthe Tabletop hospital will coordinate the process. Arrangements forthe transfer include:
- Contacting Jason’s family
- Locating an available community rehabilitation team in theBarringfield area and communicating the rehabilitation plan thatincludes teaching Jason self-care (dressing/showering/mealpreparation). If there is no community based-rehabilitation teamavailable, Jason will have to stay at the Tabletop hospital andreceive rehabilitation there.
- Contacting the admitting medical and nursing staff andcommunicating the medical record and treatment plan if Jason istransferred to the hospital.
- Booking the air ambulance
- Liaising with the Social worker and Psychologist
Additional issues related to the transfer and Jason’s ongoingcare include
- The complexity of Jason’s wound care and medications
- Need for mental health support for Jason, his girlfriend, andhis family
- Payment of inter-hospital transfer (Glenaurie Hospital andTabletop Hospital are arguing over who pays for the transfer; NSWHealth policy states the transferring hospital pays for theinter-hospital transfers, except where the patient is beingdischarged home rather than to the hospital but this depends on theavailability of a community rehabilitation team).
- Unresolved Workers Compensation claim; Jason’s workplace havenot admitted liability and are not paying Jason lost wages
- Ongoing financial support for Jason through the NationalDisability Insurance Scheme (NDIS)
You are unsure what needs to happen in arranging the transferand have approached your line manager for support and guidance,however, the line manager has not returned your emails or calls, sono arrangements have been initiated. Furthermore, the nurse caringfor Jason believes his care is too complex for home care.Communication goes back and forth between you and the line manager,the nurse, Tabletop Hospital Health Service Manager, and GlenaurieHospital Rehabilitation Unit Social Worker without resolution.
At this point, you phoned Jason’s mother Maureen to find out ifthe home arrangements are progressing. She informs you that Jasonis already on his way via air ambulance to Tabletop Hospital andwill arrive within the hour. You confirm this with GlenaurieHospital staff then inform your line manager so preparation can bemade for Jason’s arrival.
