  3. Planning work activities

  4. Organisational policies and procedures • Policies set out the general standards of service for that agency to achieve- must be accessible to all staff, clients and other interested parties. • Procedures are specific written instructions that explain what a staff member is to do, step by step in a particular situation. • It is YOUR responsibility to be familiar with the P & P within your work

  5. Individualised Plans • Also called Care Plans, Service plans, Client plans. • A care plan is an individualised plan of care and gives directions for staff to follow in the provision of care. • The plan details the care requirements that a person needs on a daily basis. This type of document is generally used in long term care because it replaces the need to detail all care given each day in the resident’s case notes.

  6. Individualised Plans • Provide an accurate, concise notation of the residents’ current condition. • The care plan provide information about the resident’s goals and care needs. • The care plan is a recipe about how the care needs to be provided. • The notes provide baseline information on which to record any improvement or deterioration in the resident’s condition.

  7. Individualised plans • The record provides evidence of care. The records will provide information about what care was provided, by whom, when and any comments from the resident, doctor, or significant other. • The care plan is a dynamic document, meaning that it changes regularly dependent on the needs and changes in the resident. It should be used and reviewed on a regular basis. The care plan is a care tool to direct and guide staff in how the care needs to be provided to the resident. • Care plans need to be individually tailored to the care needs of the individual, there is no magic formula to suit all residents, however there are some basic guidelines which you can follow in order to formulate the care plan.

  8. The Nursing Process and Care Planning • Assessment • Planning • Implementation • Evaluation

  9. Assessment • Observation of their needs by sight, hearing, touch and smell • • Communication with other members of the team to make accurate assessment of the care needs of the resident. Sometimes care workers need to provide different care activities to the same resident. Either because the resident favours a particular care worker of that the worker has expert knowledge.

  10. Assessment • A thorough assessment must be compiled in a variety of areas to determine the long term care needs and goals of client care. Areas of assessment include the following: • Physical care needs • Psychological care requirements • Socialisation needs of the individual • Spiritual needs • Assistance to maintain their personal affairs • Relationships with family and others

  11. Personal profile Communication Assessment Social and emotional needs assessment Nutrition and Hydration Assessment Mobility Assessment including falls risk and manual handling assessments Personal hygiene assessments, physical assessments oral hygiene assessments Toileting assessments Continence assessments Bladder and bowel Psychogeriatric Assessment scale (PAS) Behaviour Assessment – Verbal, Wandering, Physical agitation Cornell depression scale Medication Assessments Complex care needs Assessments – Pain scales, Waterlow scale for skin integrity, diabetes Assessment etc Assessment forms currently used

  12. Planning • Once the assessment is completed goals of care need to be developed. The goals determine whether a client will be able to restore or maintain their current level of care. The goal of care may be to improve the person’s current ability or simply to preserve their current function and level of independence.

  28. Confidentiality and Privacy • Personal information, which is obtained while caring for a client, is confidential. The client has the right to decide who to share this information with. Confidentiality applies to information that a client or other care worker tells you verbally or gives you in writing. It also applies to things that you learn through observation. All information in a person’s health care record is confidential and may not be disclosed without permission from the client or their guardian. Information may be shared with other relevant health and aged care workers when they need the information in order to provide appropriate care.

  29. Maintaining Confidentiality A carer has a moral duty and often legal obligation to protect the privacy of an individual by restricting information obtained in a professional capacity to appropriate personnel and settings, and to professional purposes. A nurse must, where relevant, inform an individual that in order to provide competent care, it is necessary for a carer to disclose information that may be important to the clinical decision making by other members of a health care team. A carer must, where practicable, seek consent from the individual or a person entitled to act on behalf of the individual before disclosing information. In the absence of consent, the nurse uses professional judgement regarding the necessity to disclose particular details, giving due consideration to the interests, well–being, health and safety of the individual and recognising that the carer is required by law to disclose certain information.

  30. Privacy • In the context of Aged care and Health care privacy means discretion and secrecy
