HealthcareCare Coordination & Transitions4HighPhysical Therapist$ implied
A physical therapist in an acute care setting struggles to make safe discharge recommendations for geriatric patients who do not qualify for skilled nursing but cannot safely live independently, with limited community resources.
Discharge decisions rely on subjective social and safety assessments because no standardized tool exists to quantify risk and match patients to appropriate resources in resource-limited settings.
