People on this report are DVA income support pensioners who have fully or partially matched to a DH&FS record on the data matching file against which DH&FS have recorded a discharge indicator. Residential situation does not affect who appears on the listing.
A discharge indicator is also included where a person moves between facilities and so some of the people on this report have not actually departed aged care but rather have moved between facilities. Such people will also appear on the new admissions report.
A column on the report indicates the method of assessment applicable to each person.
Report D: “Clients discharged” will be produced on a daily basis.
The clients discharged report should be examined to ensure that DVA has been advised of each person's departure from aged care.
Where a discharge reason of death is included for a person, and the method of assessment column shows a method of assessment 98 (ie that the person's pension has been cancelled) or death action has been registered, DVA has obviously been advised of the death. No further investigation is required.
Where advice has not yet been received, however, further action will be required depending on the reason for discharge. More [5]
