Advance care plans surfaced where decisions happen.
Capture, version and sign an advance care plan once — then surface it inside the clinical workflows where it matters. Aligned to Strengthened Standard 5 and built to be ACQSC audit-ready.
The Problem
A plan in a folder doesn’t change care.
Advance care plans too often sit in a document store, not surfaced at the moment of a clinical decision. The result is care that doesn’t reflect the resident’s wishes — and a gap an ACQSC assessor will find. The fix isn’t a better folder. It’s putting the plan inside the workflow.
What Statura Does
Captured, surfaced, and shared.
CAPTURED ONCE
Captured once, versioned, and signed.
An advance care plan is recorded against the resident, signed by the right parties, and versioned so the current wishes are never in doubt. When circumstances change, a new version supersedes the old one — and the history stays in the record for review.
- Signed and dated against the resident record
- Versioned — the current plan is always unambiguous
- Prior versions retained for clinical and audit review
SURFACED IN WORKFLOW
Surfaced where clinical decisions happen.
An ACP that lives in a folder doesn't change care. Statura surfaces the plan inside the clinical workflows where it matters — medication review, clinical escalation, hospital transfer — so the resident's wishes are in front of the clinician at the moment of the decision.
- Linked into medication review and escalation flows
- Visible at hospital-transfer decision points
- Part of the care plan, not a separate document store
SHARED VISIBILITY
Linked to next of kin and substitute decision-makers.
The plan links to the resident's next of kin and enduring power of attorney, so the right people are on the record. Where the family has Family Portal access, the plan can be shared with them — keeping everyone aligned on the resident's wishes.
- Linked to next of kin and enduring power of attorney
- Shared via the Family Portal where the family has access
- Everyone works from the same current version
Standard 5 Evidence
Evidence that links itself to the standard.
Because the advance care plan lives in the clinical record, it can be linked as evidence on the Strengthened Standards self-assessment — Standard 5, Clinical Care — as the work happens. When an assessor asks how resident wishes drive care, the trail is already there.
FAQs
Advance care planning, answered.
Is the advance care plan a separate document or part of the care plan?
It is part of the care plan, not a separate document store. The ACP is recorded against the resident and surfaced inside the clinical workflows where decisions are made — medication review, escalation, hospital transfer — rather than sitting in a folder a clinician has to remember to open.
How are advance care plans kept current?
Plans are versioned. When a resident's wishes or circumstances change, a new signed version supersedes the previous one, and the history is retained in the record. The current plan is always the one in force, so there is no ambiguity about which version applies.
Can the family see the advance care plan?
Where the family has Family Portal access, the advance care plan can be shared with them so everyone is aligned on the resident's wishes. Visibility follows the access the resident and provider have granted — it is not exposed by default.
How does this support Strengthened Standard 5?
Standard 5 (Clinical Care) under the Strengthened Aged Care Quality Standards expects providers to deliver care consistent with the person's needs, goals and preferences. Capturing, versioning and surfacing the advance care plan, and linking it as evidence on the standards self-assessment, helps demonstrate that the resident's wishes drive clinical decisions.
