Introduction to Dynamic Support Register and Decision Support Tool
Dynamic Support Registers
DSRs are the mechanism which:
- Identify those with a Learning Disability, Autism, or both at risk of avoidable hospitalisation / placement breakdown through a process of risk stratification
- Allow early intervention
- Facilitate multi-agency monitoring and response
- Trigger timely community care and treatment reviews for additional support, when needed.
Primary aim:
Support proactive intervention and to keep people in the community through:
1. Avoiding out of area placements
2. Avoiding inappropriate admissions
3. Planned inpatient admissions.
Focus
This process should be understood and applied equally to people with a Learning Disability and Autistic people who are open to mainstream services, but not principally Learning disability and autism services.
Reasonable adjustments are appropriately applied within mainstream services (Equality Act, 2010).
