What else in your programme already covers this

This control maps to 3 controls across 1 other frameworks. If you already hold one of them, the evidence you collected for it is the starting point here rather than new work.

  • 2(3)(d) Requirement 2(3)(d) Outcomes communicated and documented in an available care and services plan
  • 3(3)(e) Requirement 3(3)(e) Information on condition, needs and preferences documented and shared
  • 4(3)(d) Requirement 4(3)(d) Daily living information communicated within the organisation and with others

Every mapping shown was judged rather than inferred from wording similarity, and the ones that failed review are published too. See the coverage reports and what was rejected.
