Hi all
With the advent of PCGs I am beginning to think around the issue of
information needed for the planning of practice nursing services. I am
thinking about the information that would be useful to capture at practice
level in terms of patient encounters and health care planning. In order to
get useful information we need to be using standard ways of recording and I
have already looked at some areas of chronic disease management. I am also
aware that for future planning, practice nurses will have to give an
account of the services that they provide in a detailed way, that is not
just centred on tasks but includes health promotion and patient education.
If we can make it work then we can begin to look at how it can be rolled
out at locality level using standard READ coding.
Anyone thinking/doing this & want to share ideas & information?
TIA
