Overarching “rules”- avoid overly clinical language. This is the young person’s story and record of their stay so avoid judgemental or triggering language including reference to sexual assault (our trauma informed service includes language in reports- refer to “trauma history” or equiv)
Keep it strengths based.
Consider it like a school report- inclusive, positive framing about the work done, but with relevant info for the next clinical service to understand the admission.
Respect the person’s pronouns and gender identity
Start at admission and add to it through the stay
Check that the Dx is the one confirmed with the Consultant and has been discussed with the young person before adding it to the summary
Summary to the aged person at the time of DC, and to the GP and any other clinical support service.
Formulation:
Do not copy/paste from another place, but you can use the info to develop your own description
Think about the 5 “P”s
Presenting– This is a brief introduction of the young person, demographics -where do they live, with whom, ?work, ?school, ?centrelink etc- and how they came to be referred to Y-PARC.
Precipitating- what happened?
predisposing -AOD, genetic vulnerability, attachment issues, trauma etc,
protective- what keeps them going, strengths?, positive self image, future plan etc,
perpetuating-AOD use, homelessness, not ready to do what needs to be done, PTSD, family violence etc
- Goals for stay at in- patient unit: Improve self-worth and self esteem
- Improving independent living skills
- Coping skills ?????
Treatment:
Include daily report to demonstrate progress/trajectory. If someone has been here for several weeks there should be quite a bit to report.
What were they good at? What did they struggle with? How did they respond to challenges? How did we support them to apply their strengths to their struggles? Social interactions, group participation, independent living skills etc.
This needs to be personalised
Imagine you are receiving feedback about your work performance- how would you like that delivered?
