Following a recent CQC inspection, it has been highlighted that care plans should not just be present and in-date (which is audited for ICP purposes); but their contents should reflect quality (which is not presently audited for ICP purposes) and as named-nurses we are responsible for this.
As a result, there is now a demand for us to have a greater focus on the quality of our written care plans; ensuring that interventions are listed exhaustively and in detail.
The ICP audit is currently being reviewed, and will soon include measures which will help to identify and qualify the quality of our care plans within the audit.
