Use this background section to understand when the tool fits, how practitioners use it, and what to consider before sharing it with clients.

Anchored to Original Target Problems

The review compares ending status with the original target problems whenever starting information is available.

Remaining Concerns

Unresolved issues can be named realistically without implying failure.

Bounded Continuity

Maintenance strategies or next supports are captured, but the tool does not become a full discharge summary or long-term care plan.

Does Termination Review require complete progress data?

No. The review can show available comparison and mark missing starting point or progress information without inventing change.

Can client and practitioner perspectives differ?

Yes. If the client disagrees or is uncertain about progress, that perspective can be preserved as reported information.

Is this a discharge summary?

No. It is a task-centered closure review focused on before-and-after progress, remaining concerns, and maintenance or next supports.
