Care Planning

The following outlines an integrated system for care planning in SystmOne. It has been designed to support, palliative care, the avoiding unplanned admissions DES, care of frail patients and dementia care. It could easily be extended to other areas in the future. 

The system is designed on the basis that many of the elements required in the various care plans are common e.g. problem summaries, contact details, medication, allergies, mental capacity act information etc. There is therefore a core structure that contains the common elements which can then be built upon with more specific sections. 

The system is built with regard to guidance from: 

  • The Deciding Right guidance (North East) 
  • The Avoiding Unplanned Admissions DES specification 
  • The Gold Standards Framework 
  • Recommendations geriatricians 
  • The Dementia QOF requirements 

The advantage of creating an electronic care planning process is that all clinicians using SystmOne would be able to see and update the care plan, facilitating better communication between teams and the patient and carers. Many elements of the online care plan will be automatically updated using the relevant information from the record e.g. medication, problem lists, allergies. 

The care planning system dovetails with the palliative care templates and can be used interchangeably. 

Using a single set of templates will ensure consistency of coding and general approach. It will also ensure that we are all able to use, easily, the regionally agreed pathways and documents. 

Future, potential advantages include the ability of nursing home staff to be able to access electronic (and therefore up to date) versions of the care plan. 

Care Planning

Set-up

Add a Coordinated Care recall type to your system if you wish to use this function. 

Ensure the following patient status alerts are activated at your unit: 

  • CC Coordinated Care 
  • CC Virtual Ward 
  • CDRC Has a DNACPR – with review date in the future 
  • CDRC Has a LPA 
  • CDRC Has an ADRT 
  • CDRC Has an IMCA 
  • CDRC Has DOLS order 
  • Has a DNACPR – review date expired 
Patient Status Alerts

The care planning module includes Patient status alerts (icons) for: 

  • Patients with an IMCA (legal balance icon) 
  • Patients with an advanced directive to refuse treatment (legal balance icon) 
  • Patients with a DOLS order (legal balance icon) 
  • Patients with a power of attorney (legal balance icon) 
  • Patients with a DNACPR code and a DNACPR Review date in the future (black spot icon) to the left of the GMS icon 
  • Patients with a DNACPR code without a DNACPR Review date in the future (black spot icon) to the right of the GMS icon. 

Templates

Coordinated Care Template

The Coordinate Care template aims to help improve care for patients by ensuring key information about the patient’s condition and wishes/goals are discussed and available to all clinicians.  It is likely to be especially helpful for more complex patients such as those with dementia, palliative care needs, frailty and multimorbidity. 

How to Access:

In the lower left hand corner use the search bar, type in ‘Suspected Cancer Referral CDRC’ and select the following template:

Alternatively, press F12 and search for ‘Suspected Cancer Referral CDRC’, this will open the aforementioned template.

The Home Page of the template provides an overview of some key information. This screen can also be used to record ongoing discussion about patients including clinical or MDT meetings. 

The first section allows recording of a thumbnail sketch to provide a brief introduction to patient’s main issues. The summary can be written using the Write Summary button or updated by right clicking on the summary and choosing Copy Questionnaire.

Coordinated Care and Palliative Care recalls will be shown in the recall box. This allows you to create a list of patients to be reviewed at the appropriate interval. 

The central section includes some key interventions that are commonly appropriate in complex patients. There is also a view showing some key statuses such as whether the patient has dementia, frailty etc.  Use the buttons to deliver the interventions/assessments or change the statuses. 

The lower panel shows some key care planning information on the left and key legal and safeguarding information on the right. Again use the button to amend this information. 

The EHCP button allow recording of more details patient wishes and emergency planning.

Cohorts

The DCS (which was the name preceding CDRC) system allows the creation of two cohorts, the concepts for which were originally designed in the County Durham multi-disciplinary, multi-agency working groups looking at care for complex patients. 

  • The coordinated care cohort – patients in need of co-ordinated care – patients with frailty, dementia and palliative care needs are automatically included.  Additional patients can be added (or patients removed) using this page. 
  • The virtual ward – used in County Durham for patients in the coordinated cohort who have deteriorated acutely.

Printing an EHCP

Once the information in the template is complete you can print an EHCP from the home page of the EHCP template   

The EHCP will pull through all the up to date information from the medical record including: 

  • Emergency planning/anticipated emergencies 
  • Patient preferences including place of care and death 
  • Relatives and professional relationships. 
  • Medical problems, medication and allergies 
  • Carers details 
Updating an EHCP

Updating the care plan is extremely easy. The co-ordinated care planning and/or EHCP templates are checked to make sure each page is up to date. The emergency planning section can be updated by right clicking on it, choosing ‘copy’ and copying over the old comments which can then be amended. There is therefore no need to write large amounts of text all over again.  Once completed simple click the Create EHCPbutton on the home page of the EHCP template to create and record a new paper version of the EHCP. 

DNACPR
