I have been given the lead in my service to help start implementing Care Aims across the SLT service. I am trying to make links with other services going through this process - so it was great to find this blog! We are undertaking case discussions at the minute - and mapping them out against the 'What is my Duty of Care to Referred people' flow chart. We look at a new referral and guess predictatvely where it will go, then we discuss an older case and look retrospectively how it would fit. My biggest conundrum at the minute, is that the risk assessment tools are very medical model - and don't seem to reflect anything within the tools/structures of education - and 80% of our caseload is working into an educational setting - any thoughts or ideas would be greatly appreciated.

I usually think in terms of whether a case is likely to be short medium or long term but am aware this is still very subjective! Hope you do find answering the questions useful. Let me know how you get on and what you find / do not find useful, or any alterations you made. Lisa Hi Rhiannan,

As a result of the training we now meet with peers to analyse our caseloads. We ask ourselves the following questions in order to help us reflect on our caseloads using Kate Malcomess principles: 1.What is the patient’s current status e.g. regular therapy, review etc.? 2.When was the patient last seen? 3.If the patient was last seen more than 6 months ago, what are the clinical reasons for them still being current on the caseload? 4.When will the patient be seen again? 5.When is the patient planned for discharge? I have found this really helpful for thinking about clinical risk vs clinical need and maximising throughput. Our service preferred to answer these questions rather than use the grid system recommended by Malcomess. The service I work in is has implemented some of Malcomess’ ideas too.

That sounds interesting. What types of questions are you asking? Maybe we could post them up here.
