Client Health & Wellbeing

This plan is an evolving document

The Health & Wellbeing Plan is a comprehensive overview of a client’s health and wellbeing requirements.  This plan will reference other supporting plans and looks at all the client’s health and being needs.

This plan is very important as it is used by medical staff to assess a client’s current level of care and to inform specialists of other specialists’ treatments the client may currently be undertaking.  The plan also assists support staff in maintaining a consistent level of care as all care plans document the level of support required by the client. And as much as we don’t want to think about our love one being without us, as parents we don’t live forever and to ensure that the client’s care level is maintained having it documented makes the transition to a care facility or having drop in home care supports a lot easier as all the client’s care is documented.

An important reason for having a comprehensive health & wellbeing plan is when applying for NDIS funding you are required to show evidence to support your funding requests. This plan outlines the current and past strategies and treatments a client has undertaken and can show the impact of not having the interventions in place therefore maximising your opportunity for funding through NDIS.

This is a very comprehensive document, and the plan will change as the client’s care and health needs change over time.  By this I mean that as a client’s needs change so does this document. This document often comprises of other smaller supporting plans.  This plan comprises of a client medical history and doctors and specialists’ reports are collected in this folder/plan.

A client’s health and wellbeing plan outlines the clients, medical conditions, who they see for those medical conditions, who gives consent for medical interventions, immunisation records, hearing, eyesight, skin check, thyroid etc checks are all listed.  The annual health checklist forms part of this plan and is updated every year when the client attends their annual check-up.

This document will include any care plans from specialists and GP for a client.  Examples of such plans would be:  Dental Care Plan, epilepsy management plan, allergic reaction plan etc.

This plan keeps a record of a client’s medical history so if a support worker is asked to take a client to a medical appointment a lot of the information they will be asked will be found in this document.
