Reason for Referral and Significant Medical History
When completing the Aged Care Agency Referral Form, it is important to provide detailed information about the reason for referral and any significant medical history pertaining to the client. This information will help the agency better understand the needs of the individual and tailor their services accordingly. Be sure to include any relevant details such as chronic health conditions, disabilities, or recent hospitalizations that may impact the client's care requirements.
By outlining the reason for the referral and providing a comprehensive overview of the client's medical history, you are enabling the agency to make informed decisions about the type of care and support needed. This detailed information allows for a more efficient and effective assessment of the client's needs, ultimately leading to better outcomes for the individual receiving care.
Details of Funding Package and Required Documentation
As part of the referral process, it is necessary to specify which funding package the client has access to. This information helps the agency determine the type and level of services that can be provided to the individual. Whether the client is eligible for a Home Care Package (HCP), Commonwealth Home Support Program (CHSP), or Short Term Restorative Care (STRC), this detail is crucial for facilitating the appropriate care arrangements.
In addition to selecting the funding package, it may be necessary to attach specific documentation such as a Medical Summary or Brokerage Agreement for certain programs like STRC. These documents provide further insight into the client's health status and care needs, ensuring that the agency has all the necessary information to deliver tailored and personalized services. By including the required documentation, you are assisting the agency in expediting the referral process and ensuring a smooth transition to care services for the client.
