Working with Other Providers and Agencies: In-depth
Summary
Care services must relate to a wide range of individuals, professionals and services to which their service users need to have access. Partnership working, including with the sharing of relevant information, is key to effective service delivery particularly in respect of:
service commissioning and contracting
referrals and needs assessments
transfers to other care services such as hospital admissions and discharges
service users with complex needs or long-term conditions requiring multi-agency involvement
