It is also in relation to: POVA reporting Managing Behaviour - medical will often only interested in triggers and managing it from a health point of view. However, from a managers point of view, you need to be aware of legalalities and a HR perspective. Care Managers however, will be only interested in other clients it affects.
It also includes inter agency protocols for sharing info, such as confidentiality
In terms of problems it can create: 1. some do not always share full info on incidents and referral info. For example, if a client goes into hospital, they do not always inform the home of everything that goes on, which we all know happens. 2. Differing forms that need completing. Not everyone always aware. 3. Reporting mechanisms - not everything always reported because of ignorance for example. Also, if you look at Soham report it highlighted lack of communication between all over concerns about Huntley. The Baby P enquiry, Cornwall Report 2006/2007 also highlights poor recording and lack of communication as majoe barrier to effective care. 4. Practicalities - EMail is a good example of this. Some organisations prohibt sending of sensitive info via email, whereas some do not.
Hope that is of some help and that I was clear. |
