Post Death Information Audit
Throughout the programme the care homes are asked to collect information on the deaths of their residents. This will help to develop the Six Step to Success Programme and it is important to capture data to demonstrate the effectiveness of the programme and identify the provision of end of life care in relation to nationally recommended end of life care tools. Several tools have been developed to support the collection and anlalysis of this information.
We are interested to hear any of your comments around the new tools and audit guidance. If you have and feedback or are experiencing any problems with the audit resources please email .|
