What should be included in a care plan for a child?
The Care Plan contains information on the arrangements for the current and longer term care of the child (including, by the time of the second Looked After Review, how permanence will be achieved). It also summarises the child’s current developmental needs and identifies the services required to meet those needs. In health and social care, a care plan is crucial to ensuring a client gets the right level of care in line with their needs, and goals and in a way that suits them. It guides health and care professionals as they deliver care to a person and is their primary source of information when doing so. A care plan is a document that outlines your assessed health and social care needs and how you will be supported. It specifies who will provide your care, what type of care you need and how the support will be given. The care plan also serves as a record of care provided. They include; nursing plan, treatment plan, discharge plan and “action plan. While these terms refer to aspects of the care planning process, they do not include the concept of patient involvement and shared decision making, which is key to the care planning process. It includes assessing the patient’s needs, identifying the problem(s), setting goals, developing evidence-based interventions and evaluating outcomes (Matthews, 2010).
What are 3 important elements of an effective care plan?
A care plan consists of three major components: The case details, the care team, and the set of problems, goals, and tasks for that care plan. The professional writes the care plan with little or no input from the person or their representative. The person is supported to express how they would like their care and support to be delivered. The professional provides information about what the service can offer. A home care plan is simply a document that is created by the client and a health care professional (either our Care Team or a social worker) to meet the needs of the client’s care. Consistency of care: Care planning allows for clarity and consistency between various members of a care team. This enables the individual receiving care to have certainty about the service they are receiving. A Care Plan is a written plan of management developed by your GP and practice nurse consultation with you. It is a written set of information about what you need in managing your medical condition. All Care Plans are bulk billed by your GP. There will be no charge for these services.
Why is a child care plan important?
One of the key functions of the Care Plan is to ensure that each child has a Permanence Plan by the time of the second Looked After Review. The Care Plan is subject to scrutiny at each Looked After Review – see Looked After Reviews Procedure. After a new or revised care and support plan is introduced, your local council must review it within a reasonable time frame (usually 6-8 weeks). After this, your care plan should be reviewed at least once a year, but this might be more often if needed. Why are Care Plans Important? Care plans play a vital role in the treatment of a patient. They clearly define guidelines along with the nurse’s role in patient care and help them create and achieve a solid plan of action. This equips nurses to provide focused care—without overlooking important steps. The model care planning process has four main phases, summarized below. The phases can be worked through in a sequential process to create a care plan with a patient in a single patient encounter and then managed through follow-up (e.g., a new care plan).
What is a care plan in school?
What is an Education, Health and Care plan? An Education, Health and Care plan (‘EHC plan’) is a legal document. It sets out a child / young person’s special educational needs, the support they need, and what they’d like to achieve. It covers birth to 25 years (if a young person stays in education). Individual healthcare plans are documents drawn up involving people who might be required to contribute to a child’s care while at school. This could include the head teacher, the class teacher, care or support staff, other staff members who might need to provide medical or emergency care, you and your child.

We distinguish between ‘care planning’ (the process by which health-care professionals and patients discuss, agree and review an action plan to achieve the goals or behaviour change of most relevance and concern to the patient) and a ‘care plan’ (a written document recording the outcome of a care planning process).
What are various characteristics of a care plan?
A care plan includes the following components: assessment, diagnosis, expected outcomes, interventions, rationale and evaluation. A Care Plan details goals, action steps and appropriate timelines to address patient’s medical, behavioral health, and social service needs identified by the assessment and reassessments. Why is it Important? The Care Plan is a fundamental component of care management for Health Home patients. These are assessment, diagnosis, planning, implementation, and evaluation. The care plans aren’t focused on the wider holistic needs of the person in care. A really big problem is that they contain sarcasm, rude or offensive terminology. They focus solely on the disabilities of a person rather than their abilities. The biggest and worst problem is that they are often aren’t evidence-based.

A record of the health or social care services being provided to a child or young person to help them manage a disability or health condition. The plan will be agreed with the child’s parent or the young person and may be contained within a patients medical record or maintained as a separate document. ‘Care planning allows a nurse to identify a patient’s problems and select interventions that will help solve or minimize these problems’ (Matthews 2010), and ‘Care plans are the written records of this care planning process’ (Barrett et al 2012). The professional writes the care plan with little or no input from the person or their representative. The person is supported to express how they would like their care and support to be delivered.
