Many therapists use the term patient as much as client. Some use them interchangeably, and sometimes it depends on the setting.

APA's ethical guidelines state that a therapist cannot abandon a client/patient. Thus, the types of transitions you describe can be part of the termination/transfer process. There is also a great deal of literature about termination in textbooks and scholarly journals. Of course this does not make the process fool-proof. And I would agree that many T's do not give adequate attention to the termination process for a number of reasons.

But what you state should happen is already in place.
