UK good practice guidance was updated in 2014 and further revised in 2016 to reflect the legal changes, and the NHS Scotland DNACPR integrated adult policy has also been reviewed.Aim To assess the documentation of DNACPR decisions by inpatient and community specialsit palliative care teams in relation to the updated NHS Scotland policy to highlight the areas where education should be targeted. The audit standards are based on the revised UK good practice guidance and aspects of a measurement framework developed by Health Improvement Scotland as part of the Deteriorating Patient workstrands.Methods A retrospective audit was completed of 20 hospice inpatient unit (IPU) notes and 20 consecutive community team (CT)referrals. Compliance with 5 documentation standards was assessed for: individualised decision-making; correct DNACPR form completion; patient involvement; and good practice around incapacity.Results 16/20 inpatients and 7/20 community patients already had a DNACPR form in place on admission to the service. Compliance with good practice standards for discussion and documentation was excellent apart form; documentation of review timeframe (40%) for inpatients; and documentation of discussion when CPR was a realistic treatment option - only one of the 7 patients for who CPR might work had documented evidence that a discussion had taken place.Conclusion Patients coming into contact with the IPU or CT generally encounter good practice with regards to discussion and documentation of a clinical DNACPR decision. However community patients for whom CPR might work are less likely to be given the option to discuss their choices highlighting an education need for palliative care specialists. ER -
