The care plan and care planning cycle
An individual's needs, the sort of care they require, who will provide the care, and
how the support will be provided are all shown and described in a care plan. It's
crucial because it can help a person understand the type of support they're receiving,
who will give it to them, and the goal. Also, stress the value of care plans, which
guarantee that a person receives the appropriate degree of care for their needs and
preferences and that the care received is accurately documented to help with any
future problems.
The care planning cycle is a care plan that is organised into stages that encompass
different service user categories and arrange therapy or care.
Stakeholder consultation- gathering all information regarding the service user
as well as agencies or professionals involved.
Prioritizing desired outcomes and taking into account service user demands
holistically are both parts of identifying health needs and priorities.
Plan and act to achieve goals and the expected outcomes by establishing
precise timetables, places, and professional duties.
The stages of the treatment will formally begin after the care plan has been
effectively implemented.
Impact assessment - Any care or treatment will be assessed, and if there are
any problems, the cycle will be changed to conform to the new standards.
After the evaluation, the care plan will be reassessed if any conditions have altered
and will continue to be observed. Also, the care plan must place the service user at
the centre because it engages and considers their wants.
, My Case Study:
After suffering a heart attack at the age of 45, John, a 58-year-old man, was given
the diagnosis with coronary heart disease. John has three daughters who live 20
minutes away from his ex-wife and share a second-floor, two-bedroom apartment
with him. He hardly ever sees them, though.
Before his first heart attack, John worked as a full-time lorry driver. He is currently
unemployed after having his HGV licence revoked due to a negative medical
evaluation. Being forced to eat from food vans that only offered fatty items like
burgers or kebabs during his time as a lorry driver resulted in John having a terrible
diet, which led to his weight gain. It could be argued that his poor diet and frequent
smoking contributed to his increased risk of coronary heart disease. Heart problems
have become prevalent. In John's family, his mother, who was 55, passed away after
a heart attack.
After having his first heart attack six years ago, John was given a CHD diagnosis. He
felt faint, had severe chest discomfort, and woke up in the middle of the night. He
went to A&E as a result, where he was later taken to the ICU so that testing could be
performed. He was identified as having CHD the next day. He later had four stents
placed and was given a referral for a cardiac rehabilitation programme. A few years
later, he experienced two additional heart attacks, each requiring three stents, for a
total of seven stents. He also had depression, sleep apnea, type 2 diabetes, high
blood pressure, and high cholesterol. One could argue that CHD affected the
emergence of these conditions. Furthermore, Richard experiences discomfort and
shortness of breath if he moves physically. Richard experiences frequent symptoms
that make it difficult for him to perform his daily tasks.
