ILLUSTRATIVE FINDING · CARE PLAN REVISION LOG
The form records a review date, but not what changed.
- Observation
- The sample template has a signature and review date, but no field for the reason for revision or the change made.
- Why it matters operationally
- The next staff member may not be able to tell which instructions changed or when the new instructions began.
- Recommended next step
- Add fields for revision reason, change summary, effective date, and reviewer. Assign a person to communicate the approved update.
- Check that the change is usable
- Walk through a fictional update with a staff member and confirm they can identify the current instructions.
