Conclusion:

[Provide a summary of the overall risk profile for the individual, evaluating the effectiveness of the mitigation strategies in place, and ensuring that the individual’s autonomy, dignity, and wellbeing are at the forefront. Reaffirm the importance of ongoing feedback from the individual, as well as regular monitoring and review of the risk assessment.]
Instructions for Future Use:

    Risk Category: Always define each risk category clearly (e.g., communication issues, falls, medication errors, etc.).
    Likelihood & Severity: Use specific criteria to assess the likelihood and severity of each risk based on real-world scenarios. Refer to previous experiences or data, if available.
    Mitigation Measures: Tailor actions to address both functional and emotional aspects of the individual’s care. Always ensure autonomy and respect are maintained.
    Monitoring: Identify specific actions, activities, or times where extra attention is needed to monitor each risk.
    Success Metrics: Use qualitative and quantitative measures to assess if risk mitigation has been effective, ensuring that it aligns with the individual’s goals and preferences.
