Complex care package readiness guide

Readiness is a governance decision

A package should not go live simply because a start date exists. Managers need evidence that clinical assessment, care planning, staffing, training, competencies, medication and risk reviews are complete or controlled.

Minimum evidence to review

• Referral and package profile.
• Clinical assessment and care plan.
• Risk assessments and medication needs.
• Staffing model and care pod allocation.
• Training and competency requirements.
• Governance approval or controlled exception.
