Bill > SB00564

This bill requires the Connecticut Department of Public Health (DPH) to develop and establish comprehensive standards for how residential care homes create discharge plans by July 1, 2025. A discharge plan is a detailed strategy outlining how a resident will transition out of a residential care home, which typically includes medical instructions, follow-up care recommendations, and logistical arrangements for the next phase of the resident's care or living situation. The bill is primarily focused on creating a standardized process to ensure that residents of residential care homes receive consistent, thorough, and well-structured guidance when they are preparing to leave the facility, which can help improve patient outcomes and reduce potential complications during transitions between care settings.
