Care Pathway Sample Clauses

Care Pathway. A full description of the screening pathway is given below, along with a diagram of the pathway (figure1). The screening pathway consists of the following: • Identify population - the eligible population is identified through maternity antenatal care services. For Down’s syndrome screening, the eligible population is women with xxxxxxxxx and twin pregnancies <20+0 weeks of pregnancy confirmed by ultrasound scan and for Xxxxxxx’ and Patau’s syndromes screening using biochemical markers the eligible population are women with xxxxxxxxx and twin pregnancies ≤ 14+1 weeks of pregnancy confirmed by ultrasound scan • Inform - during the first contact or booking visit with the midwife, verbal and written information about the dating scan and screening is given to the woman (using the NHS Screening Programmes booklet ‘Screening Tests for You and Your Baby’) to enable her to make an informed choice and screening offered • Offer - the offer of screening and subsequent acceptance or decline should be documented • Test – • combined screening is performed between 10+0 to 14+1 weeks gestation. The maternal serum sample can be taken between 10+0 to 14+1 weeks gestation and the nuchal translucency measured between 11+2 and 14+1 weeks. For purposes of screening the eligibility for first trimester screening using the combined test is a crown rump length (CRL) measurement of 45.0mm – 84.0mm • for women between 14+2 and 20+0 weeks, the quadruple test is performed for the assessment of risk for Down’s syndrome only in women with a xxxxxxxxx and twin pregnancy. The recommended screening strategy for Xxxxxxx’ and Patau’s syndrome for women who present for care ≥14+2 but between 18+0 and 23+0 weeks gestation is the fetal anomaly scan • arrangements for the sequencing of the ultrasound component (i.e. CRL/NT) and the collection of the maternal blood sample should be defined by local protocol and are the responsibility of the Provider. Where screening in the first trimester using the combined screening strategy is accepted, the biochemical component of the test must be completed regardless of the measurement of the nuchal Translucency. Where a nuchal translucency measurement of ≥3.5 mm is recorded, referral should not be delayed to await biochemistry information but results should be forwarded to the clinician as soon as they are available to support discussion of further investigative options with the woman • a local failsafe protocol must be in place to ensure that all women who ac...

Care Pathway. The care pathways for patients are as follows:  New referrals from acute neurology or neurosurgery service, secondary care paediatric services, or, occasionally, primary care  Assessment in the in-patient or out-patient setting and active treatment or monitoring of the condition commenced.  Active treatment as an in-patient or in the community, supported by the specialist neurorehabilitation team.  A small number of cases of children with rare conditions (e.g. ASI) might be referred from the regional paediatric neurorehabilitation service to a supra- regional paediatric neurorehabilitation unit or managed on a shared- care basis.  Discharge from in-patient or out-patient support by the specialist neurorehabilitation service to the local paediatric service and community disability team.  There are various pathways for long-term care:  Condition resolves – discharge from primary care  Condition stable – shared management with secondary care or management entirely by secondary care  Condition complex and long term – shared management with secondary care but with tertiary service continuing to play a significant role in an outreach capacity.  Patients discharged to secondary or primary care who later develop problems related to their neurological condition can be re-referred to the tertiary specialist neurorehabilitation service for assessment and possibly further treatment.  Cases will be accepted if they meet the acceptance criteria (see below).  For those with complex life-long conditions and those still requiring neurorehabilitation services in adult life, transitional care arrangements will be made appropriate local adult services. Transition to adult services will occur between ages 16-19 years, according to patient and parent preference, local arrangements and the availability of suitable services. Packages of care Patients referred to the tertiary specialist service, as an in-patient or out patient, would be assessed and, if appropriate, then offered a package of treatment either as an in-patient or out-patient.
Care Pathway. 7.1 Patients will be signposted to the service by other health care professionals involved in their care.
Care Pathway. The care pathway follows that: • the eligible population is identified through the issuing of an NHS number at birth or registration with a GP practice for babies born abroad • registered health care professionals check antenatal results and family history. Ideally all antenatal results obtained from antenatal SCT screening are included on the blood spot card • registered health care professionals provide written information (ideally before birth) and take verbal consent • screening is offered to unscreened babies who move into a local area under a year of age. Health visiting services (or agreed alternative) are responsible for offering screening to parents of babies with no documented screening results in English. The CHRD who record the arrival of a baby should alert the HV to unscreened babies. GPs should ensure CHRD are informed of the babies they register • samples are taken on day 5 (day of birth is day 0), in accordance with Guidelines for Newborn Blood Spot Sampling (2016), and sent on the day of sampling to the appropriate newborn screening laboratory. Records are kept of all tests including those declined • additional tests are offered to babies born preterm and babies at risk of blood transfusion and if required by a screening protocol to achieve a conclusive result. For SCT please refer to Service specification No. 18: NHS sickle cell and thalassaemia screening programme • the Newborn screening laboratory tests the sample according to national policy and reports the results to the Child Health Records Department and the Newborn Blood Spot Failsafe Solution. This can result in one of five outcomes: • carrier: healthcare professional informs parents of results • inconclusive result: additional sample required • avoidable repeat test: additional sample required, for example, insufficient blood, missing/inaccurate details on the card • condition not suspected: parents are informed of the result • condition suspected: immediate clinical referral to a specialist initiated by the laboratory and parents informed of the result, by the specialist service • maternity care providers ensure all babies they are responsible for are offered screening by using the Newborn Blood Spot Failsafe Solution • Child Health Records Departments maintain a list of the eligible population to provide a failsafe check to identify untested babies, to monitor coverage and to send results to health visiting services (or agreed alternative) and parents according to national pol...

  • Psychotherapist-Patient Privilege The information disclosed by Patient, as well as any records created, is subject to the psychotherapist-patient privilege.

If Therapist received a subpoena for records, deposition testimony, or testimony in a court of law, Therapist will assert the psychotherapist-patient privilege on Patient’s behalf until instructed, in writing, to do otherwise by Patient or Patient’s representative. Patient should be aware that he/she might be waiving the psychotherapist-patient privilege if he/she makes his/her mental or emotional state an issue in a legal proceeding. Patient should address any concerns he/she might have regarding the psychotherapist-patient privilege with his/her attorney.

In addition, this fee may be adjusted by contract with in- surance companies, managed care organizations, or other third-party payers, or by agreement with Therapist. From time-to-time, Therapist may engage in telephone contact with Patient for purposes other than sched- uling sessions. Patient is responsible for payment of the agreed upon fee (on a pro rata basis) for any tele- phone calls longer than ten minutes. In addition, from time-to-time, Therapist may engage in telephone con- tact with third parties at Patient’s request and with Patient’s advance written authorization. Patient is respon- sible for payment of the agreed upon fee (on a pro rata basis) for any telephone calls longer than ten minutes.
