1 CARE QUALITY COMMISSION ESSENTIAL STANDARDS OF QUALITY AND SAFETY Outcome 6 Regulation 7 Cooperating with Other Providers CQC 6A Ensure personalised care through adequate coordination of services People who use services can be confident that when their care, treatment or support is provided by more than one service, team, individual or agency, or is transferred from one service, team, individual or agency to another, this is organised so that: 6A(1) A lead is always identified who is responsible for coordinating the care, treatment and support of the person who uses services. 6A(2) The person who uses services is aware of who the lead is and how to contact them. Health Personalised Care Planning processes ensure that a lead is identified and depending on the social care needs of the patient this will either be within DCHS or Social Care. All patients are notified of their care planning lead. DCHS is committed to working in partnership with our local authority colleagues to support the personalised care agenda Clinical documentation used across a range of DCHS services has undergone to ensure a consistent and standardised approach across adult and children s services. Contact details detailed in Clinical case notes. Parent held records contain contact details. 1

2 6A(3) 6A(4) The plan of care includes arrangements for when a person who received care, treatment or support transfers between services. Each of their assessed needs is met by the service, team, individual or agency that is accountable for doing so; ensuring, in total, that all those needs are met. The patient s personalised care plan includes details of proposed transfers between services (NHS & Social Care). Patients who require care across health & social care have multidisciplinary / agency care plans in place. These are integral to the patient care plan and are detailed in the discharge summaries. A single assessment process (SAP) folder is held by the patient and has contributions from Health & Social Care, with Social Care being the initiator of the care plan. Common assessment framework (CAF) is the equivalent process for Children and Young People. 2

3 6A(5) All those involved in the care, treatment and support of the person who uses services: cooperate with the planning and provision of care, treatment and support have the documented plan of care available to them have relevant information about the person who uses services available, where it has a direct bearing on the quality and safety of the care, treatment and support being delivered record the key points of the care, treatment and support they have given enable relevant information to be accessed in time to ensure that the needs of the person who uses services continue to be met. As a part of the care planning process there is a requirement for multidisciplinary / multiagency team members to liaise or meet to evaluate the care plan. This is all recorded in the integrated care plan, which in adult services is held by the patient and in children services an equivalent is held by the parent or guardian. Patient Care Plan. Case conference and multidisciplinary meeting notes. Discharge summaries. CQC 6B People who use services can be confident that when information about their care, treatment and support needs to be passed to another service, team, individual or agency, this is organised so that: 3

4 6B(1) The information includes everything the other service, individual, team or agency will need to ensure the needs of the person who uses services are met safely, even when the transfer of information is urgently. As a minimum this includes: their name gender date of birth address unique identification number where one exists emergency contact details any person(s) acting on behalf the person who uses services, with contact details if available records of care, treatment and support provided up to the point of transfer assessed needs known preferences and any relevant diverse needs previous medical history that is relevant to the person s current needs, including general practitioner s contact details Cont d.. The background and contact assessment (BICA) is the main document that is used across health & social care services which gives all of this information. On initial assessment this document is checked for accuracy. Clinical documentation used across a range of DCHS services has undergone a review to ensure a consistent and standardised approach across adult and children s services. Information sharing protocols exist between health & social care. 4

5 any infection that needs to be managed homicide and harm to self and others any medicine they need to take any allergies they have key contact in the service the person is leaving reason for transferring to the new service any advance decision any assessed risk of suicide and homicide and harm to self and others. 6B(2) The information is transferred in time to make sure that there is no delay to the assessment of needs by the other service, team, individual or agency. The single assessment process (SAP) ensures that all patients have their own personalised care folder, which includes any information relevant to their care plan. The lead for introducing the SAP is Derbyshire County Council Social Services. All health partners were expected to participate and whilst this has happened across community service providers (NHS & Social Care), the Acute Care Providers, who were initially involved, have since taken a decision to withdraw. Med Poss Mod DCHS Admissions Policy and documentation that supports the transfer of patients from other health providers. Medical records from other healthcare providers can be obtained and transfer summaries. The SAP is not universally used across all health providers in Derbyshire, particularly if the patient has acute hospital care

6 6B(3) There are no interruptions to the continuity of care, treatment and support for the person who uses services. The transfer processes between health & social care providers aim to ensure continuity of care. The introduction of the JONAH discharge management system has helped to identify areas of delays in discharge which have been worked through and resolved with our social care providers. Home of Choice Policy. Complaints system. The introduction of JONAH has seen reductions in delays in discharge and average length of stay. 6C People who use services can be confident that when more than one service, team, individual or agency is involved at the same time in their care, treatment and support, or are planned to be in the future, the services provided are organised so that: 6C(1) All those involved understand which service has the coordinating role and who is responsible for each element of care, treatment and support to be delivered. 6C(2) Each service, team, individual or agency is involved when the plan of care is reviewed or brought up to date. 6C(3) Where appropriate, all those involved discuss together the plan of care for the person who uses services. The multidisciplinary / agency meetings will agree lead responsibilities for each element of care. Review dates will be agreed as part of the integrated care plan and leads expected to attend and contribute to reviews and key milestone dates. Multidisciplinary care conferences / mtg notes.
