Individualized Plan of Care: Changes in Process & Documentation
Best Practice
• Evidence based Clinical Pathway for a patient population used as basis for plan; if such a pathway is not available, age-appropriate generic pathway should be used
• Individualized to a specific patient• ALL members of team contribute (Patient/family, Provider,
Nurse, Soc. Wk., Therapists, Dieticians, Child Life, others)• Reviewed regularly, revised with change in patient status• Focus on significant, priority problems • Reflects progress towards measureable outcomes• A practical tool to help the team coordinate care, evaluate
the effectiveness of treatment, and patient’s progress
Current and Proposed Processes -- in BriefCurrent Process
• Admission: Print Paper Pathway from E-Docs; retain in paper chart (w/ or w/o written updates) Reflect individualization by: – Updates to Pathway (paper)– Nurse-entered orders (HEO/Wiz) – Documentation on Plan of Care Tab (HED) – Documentation by other team members (StarPanel
and paper)
• Q shift/Q24h (per unit stnd.) POC review/revise: – Document status/revisions on paper pathway &/or in HED
(Name of Pathway, Pathway Phase, Status, Why Goals Not Met, Action, Plan)
• With handovers – review POC (Pathway, Phase, Status)
• Discharge – same as handovers plus if any unresolved issues, must document plan to address post discharge.
• Monitoring – requires audit of paper chart and HED
Proposed Process• Admission: Select Pathway & save to Patient
Electronic Medical Record (EMR )in StarPanel. Reflect customization by documentation in HED (Nursing). Electronic documentation from all disciplines accessible in StarPanel & aggregated in OPC view.
• Q shift/Q24h (per unit stnd.) POC review/revise: – Review documentation by other team members and
Pathway (StarPanel OPC); consider assessment data and input from patient and family.
– Document: • Name of Pathway & Phase (if new, changed) (HED)• For each significant problem, review/revise as
needed expected outcome & document status towards expected outcomes (HED)
• Document summary of patient’s status in Nursing Summary & highlight issues of concern in Priorities/Plans (HED)
• Handovers: Use OPC to review Pathway, significant, priority Problems, Expected Outcomes, Status, Nursing Summary, Priority & Plans (StarPanel OPC)
• Discharge: Same as current process. • Monitoring: Electronic reporting from HED
Admission Process• Complete Admission History in StarPanel & initial Assessment in
HED (same as current process) • From StarPanel, select best pathway for patient. Save to StarPanel.• Based upon clinical assimilation of your assessment, patient’s
history, pathway, orders, patient/family input, & multi-disciplinary input, identify and prioritize most significant problems and document in HED. (At least 1 problem and no more than 3-4 problems at a time!)
• For each problem, identify an expected outcome. Each outcome should be: – Specific– Measureable– Outcomes should represent patient behavior/status rather than a task
a team member will complete (i.e. “Pt. will demonstrate ability to change ostomy bag without assistance by POD #3” NOT “Pt. education on ostomy care done by POD #3”)
Daily/Q Shift (per unit standard)
Review/Revise Plan of Care by:• Review Pathway; based on goal attainment for the current Pathway
phase, determine if the patient will remain, progress, regress to a different Phase. Following initial Pathway documentation, you only need to document changes in Pathway or Phase.
• Review orders; verbal & written input from team, assessment, rounds, & patient/family as basis for evaluation of patient progress toward expected outcomes & identification of new problems.
• Document actual outcomes of current problems. Adjust expected outcome as patient’s status changes.
• If priorities have changed, end lower priority problems and add higher priority ones.
• Enter nursing orders for new interventions if the interventions are not already included on Pathway or Current Orders.
• Interface with other disciplines as patient’s condition warrants.
Use OPC to view team
documentation
With Handovers (change in care provider, level of care, unit transfer, etc.)
• Use OPC to review Plan of Care and Priority Problems with receiving Nurse

Other Functionality of the OPC • OPC = Overview of
Patient Care • Ease of access to
Multidisciplinary Data• Current Orders• Hyperlinks for Details• Team Pager Hyperlink• Family Contact Info• Trends VS & I&O’s• Excellent tool for
handovers – print in lieu of Current Order Sheet
Upon Discharge
• Review Pathway, orders, input from patient family, & team, status of expected
outcomes for each active problem. • Document status of each problem. • Annotate plan for post discharge follow-up for
priority problems that are not resolved by discharge.

achieve not a nursing task) 4. Enter brief text description of Expected Outcome
Actual Outcomes1. Rating of patient’s progress towards expected outcome:
• Met Expected Outcome• Improved• Unchanged• Worse
2. When first documented an expected outcome for new problem, SELECT “initiated” as the Actual Outcome

New Fields
Nursing Summary
• Brief statement that summarizes and assimilates clinical data & events for shift
• Document toward end of shift (prior to 0500/1700) & upon Transfer
• Keep it brief & concise – 240 character limit• Feeds into the Charge Nurse Snapshot as your
summary of shift
Plan & Priorities
• Replaces “Plan & Action” in Plan of Care• Complete with Nursing Summary• Your recommendations for the plan &
priorities for the oncoming nurse• Examples: Ambulate in hall; Suction q3h;
Vanc level due @ 10am; CT scan @12pm• Keep it brief & concise – 240 character limit

To End a Problem1. In field of problem to be ended, click on Magnifying Glass2. Under End a Problem, click in the date field, type “T” for Today3. Adding a comment is optional4. Click Save
Click on Magnifying Glass - opens End
Problem Box
If there are more than 4 Active problems …
Lower priority Problem will not be significant focus at present time
3-4 most significant Problems will be focus at
any point in time. Use significant flag for the Expected Outcomes to
denote these if there are > 4 active problems
Document against significant priority Problems at least once each 24 hrs. In this example, you’d chart against Problems
circled in green but not against those circled in red.
