Decision Support

• So how can this be achieved?• First start by looking at your care plans• Identify plans that cover a multiple of care

situations and break them down into smaller care items

Breaking it down

• eg Typically, care plans for hearing cover both residents who require and use aids, don’t require aids or require aids but won’t use them

• Each of these could form a separate specific care item which can be linked to the applicable answer in a hearing assessment

Activity SetsBy using an activity set you can break down care elements and apply a frequency to items that require one.

Ultimately this allows for electronic sign off.

On the next page I have broken down an example of a hearing deficit

Breaking it Down

Putting it all together

• Mrs Morgan has a Braden Pressure Risk Assessment which identifies she’s at high risk due to her incontinence.

• The assessment has a linked care element to be added to her plan
