98 Chapter 4 Table 3. Themes involving organizational aspects. (continued) Main theme Brief description Sub-theme Description Factors outside the ward The discharge process must be well prepared and supervised. Home visits allow rehabilitants to practice meaningful tasks in their own environment and be prepared for discharge. Outpatient rehabilitation It is important to visit the home environment during inpatient rehabilitation because the situation at home can be different from the rehabilitation ward. It is best for rehabilitants to practice meaningful tasks in their own environment. However, some participants think rehabilitating in a good CRE can have added value. Discharge process It can be beneficial to guide the transition home by continuing the rehabilitation process by the same professionals in outpatient rehabilitation. Rehabilitants and informal caregivers sometimes think they are not ready to be discharged, while professionals think they can manage at home. It is important to keep communicating about the discharge process. Additionally, longer rehabilitation can sometimes be beneficial to increase a rehabilitants’ independence, which subsequently leads to lower healthcare costs in the long term.
