During a review of the facilities policy and procedure (P&P) titled Care Plans, Comprehensive Person-Centered dated 3/2022, the P&P indicated The interdisciplinary team (IDT), in conjunction with the resident and his/her family or legal representative, develops and implements a comprehensive, person-centered care plan for each resident.
The P&P indicated The comprehensive, person-centered care plan: includes measurable objectives and timeframes; describes the services that are to be furnished to attain or maintain the resident's highest practicable physical, mental, and psychosocial well-being, includes the resident's stated goals upon admission and desired outcomes; and reflects currently recognized standards of practice for problem areas and conditions.
The P&P indicated Care plan interventions are chosen only after data gathering, proper sequencing of events, careful consideration of the relationship between the resident's problem areas and their causes, and relevant clinical decision making.
When possible, interventions address the underlying source(s) of the problem area(s), not just symptoms or triggers.
Assessments of residents are ongoing and care plans are revised as information about the residents and the resident's conditions change.
