A USEFUL PATHWAY
Pause. Ask. Record. Review.
- Pause
Separate what needs attention now from what can wait for a conversation.
- Ask
Check preferences with the person receiving care whenever possible.
- Record
Write down important contacts, questions and agreed next steps.
- Review
Revisit the plan when circumstances change, with qualified support as needed.
