The Data Protection Act (1998) requires that personal details and information must be kept secure and confidential. Confidentiality is necessary in any Health and Care Social setting because it maintains between the individuals and the organisation. An environment of trust encourages people to be open and honest with those who care for them. They provide all the details necessary so that they receive the best care possible.

In this report I will be investigating how care services meet the needs of individuals by firstly analysing the needs of an individual using care services. Then I will go on to explain the roles of the care planning process in identifying needs, and explain the features of a positive care practise. After explaining that, I will analysis positive care environments and evaluate how they meet needs before finally explaining the role of legislation in promoting a positive care environment.

* Must ensure people are informed about how and why information is shared by those who will be providing their care.

They will have details about the individuals past history and life which will all be taken into account when establishing the individual’s plan of care and support. An example might be if there are communication difficulties. A carer or family member can share information with me about how I can best communicate with an individual. This enables the individual to be listened to and supported in ways that they desire and choose.

Caveat lector is a Latin phrase meaning, “let the reader beware.” Health information on the internet is growing at an alarming rate. However, some information on the internet is not accurate or current, and unfortunately, many web sites regarding healthcare offer misleading, incomplete, and incorrect information. Many consumers do not have the knowledge to judge and evaluate the quality of online information. This paper aims to discuss how the website WebMD presents information to readers. It will evaluate WebMD according to its source, where was the source obtained; type of funding, is it commercially funded or private; the validity and quality, how valid is the information and can it be verified; and privacy, is your personal information

The Health and Social Care Act 2012 came into force with crucial principles including new structures and arrangements in health care services to safeguard and strengthen the future of NHS and maintain the modernisation plan. In this Act, many new changes has been made to a number of existing Acts, National Health Services Act (NHS 2006), in order to enable health care system to tackle the existing challenges and also avoid any potential crisis in future. It has also introduced the proper allocation of NHS fund and budget, and improved the integrated care between NHS and social care services to promote patients’ choice in terms of delivering quality care.

This unit develops understanding of the values and principles that underpin the practice of all those who work in health and social care. The essay consider theories and policies that underpin health and social care practice and explore formal and informal mechanisms required to promote good practice by individuals in the workforce, including strategies that can influence the performance of others.

The NHS Operating Framework introduced by the coalition government sets out the planning and financial requirements for RUHB in 2012/13 and the basis of their accountability (DH, 2012). As a result, the 2013 certified that funding for health in England be frozen for up 2015/16 thereby requiring RUBH to underspend allocated funding from the government such as putting a 1% cap on pay award. Socially, this will include factors such as behavior of staff and service users, partnership working, quality of care, etc. These factors can drive change in diverse ways in the RUHB. For example, the NICE Guidelines on Behavior Change make recommendations on individual level behavior interventions that is aimed at changing the behavior that can be dangerous to the health of staff and service users such as smoking, alcohol abuse, lack of physical activity, safe sex, etc. (NICE, 2014). Technologically, the introduction of information communication technology has resulted in faster communication, appropriate storing and sharing of information and records of service users between health and social care professionals. As a result of the CQC inspection, the RUHB revises their health records management policy to more accurately reflect where information about service user such as fluid intake and output in each ward should be recorded (CQC Report, 2013)

In 2000, an effort was made by the UK government to resolve certain inequalities that had developed within the NHS by releasing the “NHS Plan of 2000.” This plan greatly increased spending on employee pay, infrastructure, and access to services. Despite almost doubling spending in a ten year period,

I went through several mediocre sites and a few excellent ones. Among these, there were multiple options that would have been suitable for the purposes of an analysis paper, providing clear examples of what to do and what not to do for a health care site. What was shocking was the number of sites that had at least a few major problems with accessibility. One of the frequent issues that I came across was the ‘wall of text’ that would be a complete deterrent for anyone with general literacy problems. Evidently, more education is needed among the medical community on how to make a site more reader friendly and educational for everyone who uses

Part of effectively attracting attention to an article or infographic is the aesthetic qualities. When people look for information they want to see something that is clean and function. In most cases where the design is below par, the audience will not give it the time of day. MedlinePlus gives the reader a very easy to understand layout. Each heading is bolded, making navigating through the page simple. The website also uses bullet points to show important topics in the different parts of the article. ‘Medicine Safety and Children’ also have a section in the article designed for parents to give them contact information to Poison Control and what to expect if they must take their child to the ER. The site does a good job at presenting the data to the viewers in a comprehensible manner.
