1. Question & Answer tick box for risk assessments on the PCS system we use within our care homes
2. Risk assessments not making recommendations when risks have been identified

1. We have been using the PCS system (Person Centered Software) in all of care homes. Any risk assessments are person centered around the resident to identify risks.
2. We have checked with PCS and although risk assessments are archived residents care plans are not. This is due to care plans being reviewed on a monthly basis if not sooner depending on if circumstances change with that resident.
3. All staff use a handheld device where they have access to residents care plans and risk assessments. This will be part of our action plan to ensure that during inductions staff are shown how to access information on residents and use the devices effectively.
4. All care plans and risk assessments are reviewed and updated monthly.
5. As care plans are reviewed and updated regularly to reflect residents support we fill that it works effectively as the information on care plans are up to date. Action Plan:
