The Trauma Recovery and Rehabilitation Plan (the Plan) is an initiative of the Queensland Rehabilitation, Trauma and Rural and Remote Clinical Networks which are part of Clinical Excellence Queensland.
It was developed as a communication tool for out of catchment trauma patients with complex discharge needs to facilitate their recovery closer to home. Completion of the Plan encourages a person-centered interdisciplinary approach to decision-making and planning by early documentation of a patient’s demographics, relevant injuries and respective management, ongoing rehabilitation needs and services the patient needs in their local area.
It is recommended the Plan is led by an allocated key worker in the treating team and is completed collaboratively by members of the interprofessional team providing assessment and intervention for the person during their hospital admission. The document should be completed with the patient and reviewed and updated as their needs change. It is recommended the document is used as a guide for clinical team discussions, updates and handovers. Clinicians from the treating team may wish to contact the respective clinician at the receiving site as part of clinical handover to provide a more comprehensive profession-specific report.
