Service Description and Care Pathways Sample Clauses

Service Description and Care Pathways. The Integrated MSK Service illustrated above ensures patients move seamlessly within the pathway as required. This allows patients to move between specialists within the MSK Service as clinically appropriate. For example, if a patient seeing a member of the Pain Management Team were thought to have a Rheumatological condition then that patient would seamlessly transfer over to a member of the Rheumatology team for further assessment. The use of Self-management must be promoted and delivered by the Service for patients through education and agreed supported self-management plans. Primary care clinicians should be supported to do what a ‘good GP should do’, resulting in patients being given appropriate information and management early in their journey. Primary Care interventions may include the provision of splints, joint injections in primary care by Commissioner’s agreement and up-skilling of GPs as clinically appropriate. The MSK Service will work closely with the front end of the pathway by providing support and advice. By providing educational, meaningful and regular feedback to referring clinicians, the quality of the referrals into the Service should continually improve. The feedback to Primary Care clinicians must include information about referral rates, and the quality of the referrals. In addition, generic training and education is delivered in accessible formats for all primary care clinicians. A variety of tools and techniques that can support patient information and increase their knowledge should be utilised to ensure that patients understand their conditions, what the treatment plan may be and that they are involved along the pathway of care. This is essential because with MSK conditions the recovery of the patient or maintenance of their condition is dependent on the actions of the patient e.g. undertaking specific exercises between appointments. Following a period of MSK treatment, a patient will be able to self-refer back via a telephone consultation initially (or any other appropriate method as agreed with the patient) with the Service if the same condition recurs within a six-month period. Self-management will be promoted and the importance of compliance with treatment regimens will be emphasised. The Service works towards a safe discharge after effective care where clinically appropriate. The exception will be certain MSK conditions, such as Rheumatological conditions, where on-going care provided by the MSK Service is clinically approp...

  • System Description The wet detention basin is designed to trap 80% of sediment in runoff and maintain pre-development downstream peak flows. The basin has two forebays (smaller ponds) located at the low end of two grass xxxxxx. In addition to runoff conveyance, the grass xxxxxx also allow infiltration and filtering of pollutants, especially from smaller storms. The forebays are each 4 feet deep. They are connected to the main pool by 18 and 24-inch metal pipes that outlet onto a rock chute. The forebays will trap coarse sediments in runoff, such as road sands, thus reducing maintenance of the main basin. The main pool will trap the finer suspended sediment. To do this, the pond size, water level and outlet structures must be maintained as specified in this Agreement (see Figures 1, 2 and 3). The main basin receives runoff from a 67.1 acre drainage area (41.2 acres within the subdivision and 25.9 acres off-site drainage coming from the east). During high rainfall or snow melt events, the water level will temporarily rise and slowly drain down to the elevation of the control structure. The water level is controlled by a 12-inch concrete pipe extending through the berm in the northwest corner of the basin (see Figures 1 and 3). On the face of the 12-inch pipe, there is metal plate with a 3-inch drilled hole (orifice) with stone in front of it. This orifice controls the water level and causes the pond to temporarily rise during runoff events. Washed stone (1- 2” diameter) is placed in front of the orifice to prevent clogging. High flows may enter the grated concrete riser or flow over the rock lined emergency spillway. “As-built” construction drawings of the basin, showing actual dimensions, elevations, outlet structures, etc. will be recorded as an addendum(s) to this agreement within 60 days after [Municipality Name] accepts verification of construction from the project engineer.
