What document includes potential consequences and agreements for a resident's care?

The Managed Risk Agreement is a critical document that outlines the potential risks associated with a resident's care and the agreements made between the resident (or their representative) and the care facility. This document is designed to inform residents about the risks related to their specific conditions and care preferences while clearly delineating the responsibilities of both the resident and the facility.

In this agreement, the care facility provides transparency about the risks involved, ensuring that residents or their families can make informed decisions regarding their care. It often includes information on how risks will be managed and mitigated, as well as any necessary waivers or acknowledgments from the resident. This proactive approach fosters communication and supports a cooperative relationship between the caregiver and the resident.

Other documents, while important in the overall care plan, do not specifically focus on the potential consequences and agreements related to a resident's care in the same comprehensive manner. The Care Transition Document primarily addresses the transfer process of care, the Health Management Plan is centered around the overall health and medical needs of the resident, and the Emergency Care Plan focuses on immediate responses to health emergencies, all of which do not provide the detailed risk acknowledgment and agreements found in a Managed Risk Agreement.
