Single Assessment Process logo The single assessment process, introduced in the NSF for older people, aims to make sure older people's care needs are assessed thoroughly and accurately, but without procedures being needlessly duplicated by different agencies.

Health and Social Care agencies across Worcestershire are working to share and reduce duplication of clinical and care information and where practical pre-populate information fields. Training is available to clinical and care staff to promote the beneifts and take up of the single assessment process.

Worcestershire has a Single Assessment tool that has 3 parts;
‘Contact’ Assessment that gathers generic data about the individual
‘Consent’ Form which is appropriately completed.
‘Overview’ Assessment that gathers a chronological history of events in specific areas of an individual’s life.
Copies of each of these documents are attached under the assessments pack page
As a way of co-ordinating the completed documentation (and providing an appropriate multi-disciplinary folder) within an individual’s home the ‘Red’ Single Assessment and Care Record are available.
