Easy Read Care Plan
- Hannah Johnson-Keck
Key Objectives
Easy-read care plans are essential for a team managing the care of individuals with diverse needs. They ensure that all team members and the individuals they support can easily understand and engage with the care plan.
Outcome measures
Create easy-read care plans with simple language and images, making them accessible to individuals with learning disabilities, cognitive impairments, or limited literacy skills. This helps ensure that everyone can understand the treatment care plan regardless of their reading ability.
Current Baselines
Teams do not always have easy-to-read digital care plans, leaving patients without a clear understanding of their condition and planned treatment.
Care plan examples
Below are three examples of easy-to-read care plans that can be customised to meet the needs of any team. This ensures that patients in the cohort have access to comprehensible and interpretable care plans they understand. Speak to your Success PM to find out how you can create easy-to-read care plans.
