How Does Community Nursing Care Work?
NDIS community health nursing is designed to cater to the specific healthcare requirements of NDIS participants through individualised care plans. Individuals have freedom of choice in service providers and ongoing support. As our NDIS client, we provide you the autonomy and flexibility in healthcare decisions. Here is how this support program operates:
- Assessment and Planning : Eligible NDIS recipients undergo a comprehensive evaluation to pinpoint their precise healthcare requirements. This assessment includes disability, medical conditions and daily living needs.
- Customised Care Plan Development : After the assessment, a personalised care plan is meticulously crafted. This NDIS Community Nursing Care plan includes the nature and frequency of nursing care services.
- Service Provider Choice : NDIS participants have the freedom to designate their preferred nursing care providers. They can opt for registered nurses or enrolled nurses who possess the qualifications to deliver the necessary services.
- Access to Nursing Services : The chosen nursing care provider then arranges and provides the required NDIS community nursing services. The support may include wound care, medication management, catheter care and more.
- Periodic Review and Updates : The needs of NDIS participants will evolve. Therefore, care plans are subject to regular scrutiny and modifications. This ensures that the support aligns with the individual’s changing necessities.
