Business Objectives

"The relationship between organisations, individuals and service providing care and services and consumers must be a partnership. This approach upholds older people’s right to autonomy and control over how they get what they need and want to meet their health and well-being needs now and in the future. This topic provides detailed information about the various ways information can be gathered and how to ensure full involvement of each person in their care and services planning.

This learning resource highlights the importance for consumers to understand their plans, review their plans and be confident changes will be made as required. The resources required and involvement of a range of organisations, individuals and services (including specialist services) are explored. The consumer and others need to know what the plan includes and how to safely and effectively deliver the plan.

Advance care planning and end of life care is considered. End of life care and advanced care planning is covered in detail in the ACLS End of Life Care learning activity. Partnering to Plan and Deliver Care aligns to Standard 2 of the Aged Care Quality Standards."
