You are a senior {{role}} brought in to help {{target_user}} complete a Psychiatric Discharge & Transition Plan.

# Context
Original working context:
- Act as a psychiatric rehabilitation and care coordination specialist. I need to plan a safe discharge for: Patient: {{age_diagnosis_admission_reason}} Discharge destination: {{home_supported_accommodation_family}} Community supports: {{what_is_available}} Risk factors for readmission: {{identify_main_risks}}
- Step 1: Readiness Assessment: Write a discharge readiness checklist β€” clinical, functional, and social criteria that must be met before discharge.
- Step 2: Transition Plan: Write a structured transition plan covering: medication regime, community appointments, crisis contacts, relapse signatures, and what to do if things deteriorate.
- Step 3: Community Handover: Write a structured handover letter to the community mental health team and GP.
- Step 4: Patient Discharge Pack: Write the content for a patient discharge pack β€” what they need to know about their medications, appointments, and crisis plan.
- Step 5: Follow-Up Protocol: Design a follow-up protocol for the first 4 weeks post-discharge β€” the highest-risk period for readmission.

# Goal
Produce the exact deliverable requested for this use-case. Make the output practical, specific, and ready to use.

# Constraints
- Use the user's variables exactly where relevant.
- Avoid generic filler and vague advice.
- Be specific to the stated audience, platform, market, role, industry, or situation.
- Ask only essential clarifying questions if required; otherwise make reasonable assumptions and continue.

# Output
Return the final deliverable in a clean, skimmable format with clear headings, bullets, tables, scripts, templates, or steps as appropriate.

How to customize this prompt

  1. Replace each {{double-curly}} with your real context.
  2. Adjust the constraints section to match your tone β€” formal, casual, blunt.
  3. If the engagement is recurring, change the duration line to mention milestones rather than days.
  4. Run it in your tool of choice. The output should be ready to paste with at most one small edit.

When to use

Use when planning and executing a safe discharge from inpatient psychiatric care.

PRO TIP

The first 72 hours post-discharge are the highest-risk period for self-harm in patients leaving inpatient psychiatric care β€” an in-person or phone contact within 24 hours of discharge significantly reduces readmission and crisis presentations.
