New resident admission flowchart template

A new resident admission flowchart shows how an aged care home admits a resident, from the offer of a place to a reviewed care plan, and who does each step. It covers the agreement and consent, collecting care and medication records, an interim care plan, checking medications, welcoming the resident, risk assessments and reviewing the plan with family.
