Systems
Coordinate my care
Personalised care plans are recorded on the Coordinate my Care (CMC) electronic record which can be shared with other care providers if consent is provided. The plans detail a comprehensive medical history and active management plan for current concerns following discussion with the resident and their family. For residents who are likely to be approaching the end of their life within one year, the CMC record details their personal wishes of where they would prefer to die and outlines any advance care planning and treatment escalation.
