Guide for use:![]() | More than one code can be recorded. Eight complex nursing requirements have been addressed within the AN-ACC Assessment Tool due to their impact on cost of care. These are for medical conditions that would usually be undertaken by staff with nursing training. The complex nursing requirements are: need for oxygen; enteral feeding; tracheostomy, catheter and stoma care; peritoneal dialysis; daily injections; and, complex wound management. In some circumstances, personal care workers will undertake these tasks under the guidance of trained nursing staff and/or following a prescribed protocol. If this is the case, please include all that apply to the resident. However, do not include if only required by the resident occasionally. Include only if the resident requires the technical nursing case on a regular basis, i.e. most days. An additional question is included regarding transfers and locomotion to address costs associated with bariatric residents. |
