For the full assessment of eligibility, a multidisciplinary team of professionals (usually referred to as the MDT) will assess whether or not you have a primary health need using the decision support tool (often referred to as the DST).
If you want relatives to be able to view Care Diary entries, then you will first need to permit them access. You can do this using the 'Permit' button at the top of a particular child's entry screen (1), above the listed entries. Permitting access will allow that child's relative(s) to see the entries made by staff when they go into the Care Diary on Tapestry.When accessing the Accident Settings section you will be able to decide whether you share this feature with relatives or not (1). Note that the accident settings section is shared with the Care Diary settings section, so if you select the first option - enable for use - you will be enabling the whole Care Diary.

If you are eligible for NHS continuing healthcare, your ICB will be responsible for your care planning, commissioning services and your case management. The ICB will discuss options with you as to how your care and support needs will be best provided for and managed. You may not need to have a separate assessment for NHS-funded nursing care if you have already had a full multidisciplinary assessment of eligibility for NHS continuing healthcare, as in most cases this process will give sufficient information for the ICB to decide on the need for NHS-funded nursing care. It also means making sure that you have the opportunity to play a full role in the assessment process and receive the support to do this where needed. You could do this by asking a friend or relative to act as your representative and help explain your views.

Johansson M, Wahlin I, Magnusson L, Runeson I, Hanson E. Family members’ experiences with intensive care unit diaries when the patient does not survive. Scand J Caring Sci. 2018;32(1):233–40. One RCT reported a decrease of anxiety symptoms in patients that received the ICU diary. Nielsen et al. [ 12] and Garrouste-Orgeas et al. [ 28] did not report HADS score as a continuous variable. Knowles and Tarrier [ 9] and Garrouste-Orgeas et al. [ 13] did not identify any difference in HADS scores between patients who received or not an ICU Diary. Fukuda et al. [ 32] found a decrease in HADS score (from 7.1 ± 3.8 to 5.7 ± 2.7 points, p = 0.011) only in patients with distorted memories (Additional file 2: Figure S2). Anxiety diagnosis To help patients understand more about their illness and Intensive Care stay we have introduced Patient Diaries. A diary of events has been shown to reduce stress in patients after they are discharged from the unit. We'll start by looking at how you can access the Care Diary, and use your filters on the Care Diary screen. Timpka, J. et al. Objective observer vs. patient motor state assessments using the PD Home Diary in advanced Parkinson’s disease (2022) (in the press).The purpose of the tool is to help the multidisciplinary team assess the nature, complexity, intensity and unpredictability of your needs – and so recommend whether or not you have a ‘primary health need’. happened to them whilst they have been critically ill. Equipping patients with a better understanding of what has happened to them whilst in ICU may help them to set realistic goals for recovery and minimise the risk of adverse long-term problems. Rascol, O. et al. Rasagiline as an adjunct to levodopa in patients with Parkinson’s disease and motor fluctuations (LARGO, Lasting effect in Adjunct therapy with Rasagiline Given Once daily, study): a randomised, double-blind, parallel-group trial. Lancet 365, 947–954 (2005). The results of this systematic review and meta-analysis show that patients treated in intensive care units who received a diary had a lower risk of depression and better health-related quality of life measured by the global health domain of the SF-36 than those who did not receive a diary. On the other hand, there were no differences in PTSD and anxiety in patients, and the intensity of symptoms of depression and anxiety of patients who receive ICU diaries was similar to those who did not receive it. For the relatives of the patients, the results did not show improvement of psychological sequelae with the use of ICU diaries. You can read more about the concept of the ‘primary health need’ in the national framework (paragraphs 55 to 67). Assessments Making decisions about who is eligible for NHS continuing healthcare
unpredictability: this describes the degree to which your needs fluctuate and thereby create challenges in managing them, including the risks to your health if adequate and timely care is not provided Katzenschlager, R. et al. Apomorphine subcutaneous infusion in patients with Parkinson’s disease with persistent motor fluctuations (TOLEDO): a multicentre, double-blind, randomised, placebo-controlled trial.

We will keep you updated with any progress we make on this! If necessary, your ICB can arrange for an assessment to help determine whether you are eligible for NHS-funded nursing care. This decision could be based on a nursing needs assessment which specifies your day-to-day care and support needs. The analysis of the present study was mainly based on quantitative data studies. However, we identified qualitative data studies that deserve mentioning. We found 21 qualitative studies about the perceptions of patients, families, and healthcare workers on writing and receiving ICU diaries [ 7, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47, 49, 50, 51, 52, 53]. Families of the patients who wrote and/or read the ICU thought that diaries were important to enhance access to and assimilation of medical information about the patient. They reported that the ICU diaries served as a channel of communication and approximation among family members in a tough moment of their lives and helped them to cope with overwhelming emotional experiences [ 40]. By writing and reading the diaries, family members could document their presence at the patient’s side, express their love and affection, confide their intimate feelings, and struggled to maintain hope. Reading the diary also made the relatives aware that the staff saw patients as a living human being, and the time devoted by healthcare providers to the diary was seen by the family as a sign of consideration, emotional involvement, and empathy [ 40]. These feelings were identified in other studies [ 34, 41, 42], and even families of deceased patients thought that the diary offered consolation and helped them to cope bereavement [ 34, 44]. The images below will show you how the relative will be able to view the Care Diary, any accident/incident forms that require attention and staff comments added during the day.
