ResPaP™ Framework
The Residential Care Policies and Procedures (ResPaP) framework is a set of evidence based policies and procedures which can be customised by each individual residential care setting. The documents are provided electronically via a searchable web interface (Q-Pulse), which makes it easy for users to find and edit the documents they need. Using simple flow charts, the documents are designed to be practical and easy to use.
The 120+ Policies and Procedures are designed to exceed HIQA requirements, and most importantly, assist in the development of high quality and safe resident care.
The strong evidence base is ensured through access to the ECRI Institute, the largest healthcare research body in the world, and strategic partners of Health Care Informed (HCI). In addition HCI's national advisory group ensures that national best practice is identified. This is supplemented by HCI's own internal expertise. If you need assistance in developing your specific policies and procedures we can also help! Click here for more details.
