Personalised Care and Support Plan V2.0

Personalised Care and and Support Plans are the output of a collaborative care planning process, carried out in consultation and with the agreement of the person and their family/carer. They aim to maximise the person’s capacity to self-care/self-manage and need to be accessible, personalised and easy to understand. Care and support plans cover what is most important to the person. This includes personal and health related goals, strengths or assets, problems, needs and activities or actions linked to achieving the goals and addressing the problems and needs. Using Standards in electronic health care records allows information to be recorded, exchanged and accessed consistently and whenever it is needed across care settings, to deliver high-quality care to individuals.

Personalised care planning Standards will help to enable people to manage their own care, with the support of a wide range of services including GPs, hospitals, occupational therapy and social care. The aim is that an individual will have one such plan that takes an holistic perspective, rather than multiple plans as is commonly the case.

Information about the Standard can be found here.

Information about the conformance assessment process can be found here.

A Supplier will need to conform with all the ‘must have’ data items and business rules for a Standard and the ‘must have’ organisational assurance criteria and will need to implement at least 40% of all data items in the Standard.

Achieving the minimum bar (40%) means that a Supplier achieving the quality mark has demonstrated an instance of the Standard that is safe and effective. Higher percentages of conformance (50-69% and 70% and above) shows how far the Supplier has gone between the minimum and ‘best practice’.

About Me Standard V1.2

Whilst this is a Standard in its own right, the About Me Standard is also a section within the Core Information Standard, the Personalised Care and Support Plan and the Transfer of Care Standard.

It is designed for sharing information that the person (or somebody acting on their behalf) considers important to share about themselves with others caring for or supporting them for the purposes of direct care, to enable the best, personalised care and support to be provided, aimed at capturing an individual’s needs, preferences and wishes for how they receive care and support in a person-centred approach.

About Me information includes the most important details that a person wants to share with professionals in Health and Care Organisations. This information might include how best to communicate with the person, how to help them feel at ease or details about how they like to take their medication.
