Care Plan Development Workshop

Care Plan Development Workshop

This workshop is recommended prior to using the TrendCare Care Plan function or for any site requiring re-training in the Care Plan function. When effectively implemented, TrendCare Care Plans provide a customised plan of care for long-term patients. TrendCare Care Plans utilise pre-set care packs for co-morbidities, expected outcome goal measures (daily, weekly or monthly) and highlight potential problems/risks.

Workshop Description

A one-day training workshop covers the maintenance setup, the development and use of care plans in a clinical department. TrendCare Care Plans incorporate the organisation’s best practice care guidelines for patient conditions and treatments.  The focus is on the individualised patient care required from care givers including medical, nursing and allied health during a patient’s continuum of care.
