The Wisconsin Request for Transition to Discharge Hearing is a legal proceeding used in the state of Wisconsin to determine whether an individual who has been involuntarily committed to a mental health facility should be discharged. This hearing is typically convened within 14 days of the petition for discharge being filed, and is heard before a judge who will decide whether an individual should be discharged or remain in the facility. This hearing may also be used to review the status of a patient who has previously been placed in a mental health facility, and to consider whether they should be discharged or remain. There are two types of Wisconsin Request for Transition to Discharge Hearing: a discharge hearing and a status review hearing. In a discharge hearing, the judge evaluates the person's competency and ability to manage their own mental health care. In a status review hearing, the judge evaluates the person's mental health status and treatment progress, and determines if they should be discharged or continue to be held in the facility.
