A person's health needs are varied: medication, appointments, health conditions, and medical-related equipment to name a few. Do you know what your responsibilities are? Have you developed documentation to adequately address all of the required 245D components for each person you support? Do you know what your responsibilities are related to meeting these needs? Have you developed documentation to adequately address all of the required 245D components for each person you support? This isn’t only about compliance, but also ensuring your responsibilities are clearly outlined so that staff can provide the best support possible!
