Overview
Pathway 1 in Somerset is the Discharge to Assess (D2A) service and is the route for all supported discharges back to usual place of residence, excluding fast tracked End of Life. The Discharge to Assess model ensures no assessment for ongoing care happens in an acute hospital setting but happens in a person's usual place of residence instead.
This enables speedy discharge and prevents the overprovision of long-term care. The ethos of the service is to provide high quality personalised reablement, to be outcome focused, and to enhance what the Individual can do themselves or with help from their support network.
