Question

Persons belonging to the caseload of type 2b-team who go through a crisis: is this a mission for the 2b-team or is the 2a-team taken this over?

Problem description

In the current start-up phase our 2a-team is working with requests from the hospital (person admitted).  It is still unclear how, in a next phase, the 2a-team will focus on the prevention or avoiding of hospital admissions, how the team will distinguish this prevention from the hospital admission prevention of the 2b-team, or how the 2a-team may temporarily be engaged for clients of the 2b-team in a crisis situation

Impact - effect

Without a clear distinction between both team (regarding the prevention of hospital admission in a crisis situation), the 2b-team will address requests to the 2a-team when a crisis occurs to people belonging to the caseload of the 2b-team.  On the one hand, the 2a-team is not equipped for this, on the other hand this requires clear agreements on crisis interventions performed by 2b-team for their own caseload, and on the collaboration between the two teams in situations where the 2a-crisis intervention team takes it over

To do

To do 1) integrating intensity gradation in the functioning of a 2b-team (“scaled up – care”); To do 2) organising joint first visit with members of the two teams in situations where the 2a-team will temporarily engaged for crisis care; To do 3) communication between the two teams about the care plan, for the time that the 2a-team is taken it over; To do 4) organising a joint visit when the 2a-team will finish its crisis interventions
