Lay DescriptorsDescribe in simple terms the typical condition of the patient and types of care. | |
Level 1Routine Care The patient has a clearly identified problem, with minimal other complicating factors. | |
Level 2Care Pathways The patient has a clearly defined problem but there may be a small
number of additional factors that affect how treatment is provided. | |
Level 3Complex 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. | |
Level 4Urgent Care The patient is in a highly unstable and unpredictable condition either
related to their primary problem or an exacerbation of other related factors. | |
Level 5One-to-One Care The patient requires at least one-to-one continuous nursing
supervision and observation for 24 hours a day. | |
