Planning Nursing Care II

A nursing care plan can present in two forms: informal and formal. Informal is a care plan for the individual use of the nurse and goals they wish to accomplish during their shift. Informal care plans are not included in the patient chart. A formal nursing care plan is a written or computerized guide that organizes patient care. It is further subdivided into two: standardized and individualized care plans. Standardized care plans are pre-populated care plans for specific patient populations,...

Nursing Process for Patient and Caregiver Teaching II: Planning and Implementation

Planning for learning involves the development of a teaching plan. Teaching plans are similar to nursing care plans—both follow the steps of the nursing process.

For example, if the goal is to educate the patient about insulin...

Area of Science:

Health Services Research
Palliative Care
Health Policy

Background:

Specialist palliative care in the UK is largely delivered by the voluntary sector, with mixed funding from the National Health Service and donations.
Historically, service development in this area has been inconsistent and unplanned.
Ensuring equitable access to evidence-based palliative care is a growing challenge.

Purpose of the Study:

To develop and implement a funding formula for specialist palliative care in Wales.
To ensure equitable provision of evidence-based palliative care across diverse settings (urban/rural) and populations.
To guide reimbursement for both inpatient hospice and hospice-at-home services.

Main Methods:

Development of a needs-based formula for specialist palliative care allocation.
Creation of a separate funding formula for hospice inpatient bed basic care costs.
Pro-rata adjustment of funding for hospice-at-home services as an alternative model.

Main Results:

A formula has been created to address specialist palliative care needs across Wales, accommodating various settings and age groups.
Funding mechanisms are established for both inpatient hospice care and community-based hospice-at-home services.
The formula aims for fairness in provision, including out-of-hours care and adherence to specialist education standards.

Conclusions:

The developed formula provides a framework for equitable, evidence-based specialist palliative care provision in Wales.
This initiative supports the voluntary sector in delivering consistent care, regardless of patient location or care setting.
Standardized data collection and audit against all-Wales standards are integral to maintaining quality and comparability.
