An electronic system audit of all client admission episodes was
undertaken to ascertain the completion rate of the risk assessment
tool (which was mandatory for all client episodes, even if multiple
for the same client occurred) during the pilot period.Atotal of 319
episodes of client care occurred during this time, this figure including
multiple care episodes for some clients. The audit identified
that a total of 280 (87.7%) client episodes had a risk assessment
tool completed. The features of those client episodes for which a
risk assessment tool was not attended included care packages that
did not fund time to complete the assessment and single visit only
episodes of care. In one case, the tool had been commenced,
however not fully completed.
