Describe in simple terms the typical condition of the patient and types of care.

Routine Care

The patient has a clearly identified problem, with minimal other complicating factors.

Care Pathways

The patient has a clearly defined problem but there may be a small number of additional factors that affect how treatment is provided.

Complex Care

The patient may have a number of identified problems, some of which interact, making it more difficult to predict the outcome of any individual treatment.

Urgent Care

The patient is in a highly unstable and unpredictable condition either related to their primary problem or an exacerbation of other related factors.

One-to-One Care

The patient requires at least one-to-one continuous nursing supervision and observation for 24 hours a day.
