About the Job
Purpose and Scope of the Trusted Assessor Service
The primary responsibility of the Trusted Assessor service is to reduce assessment delays and support effective hospital discharge by co-ordinating proportionate assessments and facilitating transfer of patients onto the right D2RA pathway.
The trusted assessor role will work proactively with Ward staff, discharge teams, patients and their families by co-ordinating and facilitating proportionate assessments through a transfer of care process. To achieve this, the Trusted Assessors will utilise the Electronic Transfer of Care (E-Toc) assessment documentation and support its further development and implementation.
Trusted Assessors will deliver an asset based approach to support and provide practical support to unblock delays to discharge, which may also involve referral to third sector and community provision.
