| Annotation | In the last of five articles on developing a benchmarking tool for person-centred care, the authors discuss ways to take the work forward through the involvement of as many practitioners as possible. The Department of Health (DH) publication "The essence of care: patient focused benchmarking for health care practitioners" (2001) does not satisfactorily cover delivering person-centred care (Standard Two of the National Service Framework for Older People). Instead, the authors have developed their own set of benchmarks, which incorporate the following six factors: assessment of need; providing support; monitoring care; reviewing care; carer involvement; and organisational strategy. These are offered by way of suggestion, to encourage other teams with their discussions, and so are not prescriptive. (RH). |
