Which section would you consult to find the ongoing therapy plan after completing initial treatment?

• A. Assessment
• B. Plan of Care
• C. Intervention
• D. Discharge Summary

Answer: (D)

Discharge Summary. After initial treatment is completed, the document that outlines what happens next, how progress was at discharge, and any recommendations for continuing care lives in the discharge summary. It provides the summary of outcomes and clearly states follow-up needs, referrals, or home programs, guiding future care or steps after discharge. In contrast, the assessment sets the starting point, the plan of care outlines goals and a treatment plan during care, and the intervention section describes the actual therapy sessions.
