  • further interventions to maintain symptom control and quality of life have been planned and
  • family/carer situation is relatively stable and no new issues are apparent.

CODE 2   Unstable

An urgent change in the plan of emergency treatment is required because:

  • the patient experiences a new problem that was not anticipated in the existing plan of care, and/or
  • the patient experiences a rapid increase in the severity of a current problem; and/or
  • the family/ carers circumstances change suddenly impacting on patient care.

CODE 3   Deteriorating

The care plan is addressing anticipated needs but requires periodic review because:

  • the patient's overall functional status is declining and
  • the patient experiences a gradual worsening of an existing problemand/or
  • the patient experiences a new but anticipated problem and/or
  • the family/carers experience gradual worsening distress that impacts on the patient care.

The type of phase is to be recorded at the start of the episode of admitted patient palliative care and for every subsequent change in phase thereafter during the same admitted patient episode.
