Test your knowledge with our methodology quick quiz. This month's focus is the Palliative Care (PC) assessment.
Clinical Assessment Protocols (CAPs) are research-based algorithms in the assessment, linked to international best practice standards. CAPs focus on a person’s functioning and quality of life. They assess the person’s needs, strengths, and preferences; they can also identify ways a person may benefit from further assessment by specialised services. When developing a care plan, consider both triggered and non-triggered CAPs.
