(b) If the patient's treatment team and the community treatment provider determine that involuntary hospitalization is no longer anticipated for the patient, the community treatment provider and any designated gatekeeper, in collaboration with the Wyoming State Hospital or designated hospital, shall submit a 14-81 form to the Court for the discharge of the patient, following the procedures set forth in Wyo. Stat. Ann. § 25-10-116(b). With the participation of the patient, the patient's guardian, the patient's caregiver, the patient's family, if applicable, and the community treatment provider, the Wyoming State Hospital or designated hospital shall prepare a discharge plan.

(c) If a patient on Convalescent Leave is returned to the Wyoming State Hospital, designated hospital, or treatment provider and later re-placed on Convalescent Leave status, the one year follow up shall be based on the date of the most recent Convalescent Leave.
