In conjunction with the upcoming winter season and the 2018 Winter Strategy, the relevant Sick Day Action Plans have been updated on the HealthPathways website for GPs and other health professionals to personalise with their patients.
Action Plans enable patients to make well-informed and guided decisions about their own health care with better health outcomes. When personalised and regularly reviewed, these plans are associated with an increase in patient self-efficacy, fewer unplanned hospitalisations and timely contact with a GP or health professional when they need it.
Some conditions and templates are simpler than others. Asthma, COPD, CCF, chest pain and anaphylaxis are a good set to start with to become familiar with preparing and training patients and carers in their use.
The plans are available for download in a PDF format and they are also available as templates to upload into Best Practice or Medical Director Clinical software.
To access these plans, simply click on the links below or log into HealthPathways (username: manchealth – password: conn3ct3d) and click on the Blue ‘Action Plans’ button icon on the homepage or access the Action Plans HealthPathway.
