HBIPS-7 Post discharge continuing care plan transmitted to next level of care provider upon discharge

The proportion of patients discharged from a hospital-based inpatient psychiatric setting with a complete post discharge continuing care plan, all the components of which are transmitted to the next level of care provider upon discharge. This measure is a part of a set of seven nationally implemented measures that address hospital-based inpatient psychiatric services (HBIPS-1: Admission Screening for Violence Risk, Substance Use, Psychological Trauma History and Patient Strengths completed, HBIPS-2: Physical Restraint, HBIPS-3: Seclusion, HBIPS-4: Multiple Antipsychotic Medications at Discharge, HBIPS-5: Multiple Antipsychotic Medications at Discharge with Appropriate Justification and HBIPS-6: Post Discharge Continuing Care Plan Created) that are used in The Joint Commission’s accreditation process. Note that this is a paired measure with HBIPS-6 (Post Discharge Continuing Care Plan Created).
