Notes on use of Integrated Care Plan

Information is collated from data from single shared assessment. The assessment of need is based on the subsections within each category of the core data sets i.e. living arrangements looks at household composition including children, status of residency, accommodation type, carer issues, other drug users, housing support needs, benefits, heating.

The Integrated Care Plan is designed to highlight specific needs to be addressed. The next column establishes how this is going to be done; by what action or service. We suggest that this form be completed following a full, comprehensive assessment and discussion with all relevant parties, when roles and responsibilities are clarified.

At the end of this table is the option for identifying a co-ordinator or co-ordination system, if there is a particular person to link people together or a specific team that is dealing with majority of service provision.

Consent to share information may be on a separate pro-forma where the individual has provided informed consent for information to be shared across agencies (details of this process in Information Sharing, Chapter 6).
