Each question is equivalent to a risk.
Check ‘Yes’ if risk was identified
Check ‘No’ if risk was not identified
For each risk identified, you will be asked to “Describe why
this is a risk for the participant” – This is where you enter
data from your assessment.
Then, you will be asked (for each risk identified) to “Describe
how this risk will be mitigated before and after transition” –
This is your mitigation plan.
In the mitigation plan, you are asked to develop
individualized strategies to mitigate a known risk using an
action verb (i.e., evaluate, educate, coach, arrange,
coordinate, etc.).


Risk Inventory is a tool used to organize
assessment findings into specific content
domains.
Conducting a comprehensive assessment is
significant to risk identification.
Developing tailored strategies specific to the
participant is consequential to risk mitigation.

Definition
 An organized method of documentation used by
providers to describe events involving the
participant.
Purpose
 The SOAP note format is used to facilitate
effective communication among the care team by
providing assessment findings, identifying
problem(s), and developing action plan(s).
26

Describe how the participant feels.
 Example: Jack reports he is “feeling well and has no concerns.”

Document what the participant says about his/her current living situation.
 Example: Susan reports she is “happy, healthy and enjoying her new
apartment.”

Record participant’s exact words to describe his/her health.
 Example: John reports he has a “dull headache” and it has lasted over a
week.

Document any mention of changes to his/her medications, diet, activity
level, etc.
 Example: When Sarah went to visit her family doctor this week, he told
her she had “high blood pressure and added a new medication.”
27

Document objective data including blood
pressure and/or blood glucose readings, and
findings from physical assessment (i.e.,
noticeable scraps or cuts, tearfulness, etc.).
 Example: TC checked Henry’s blood pressure log
and found his last three readings were all within
normal limits, 122/78, 120/76, and 122/80.
28

Document your interpretation of the
subjective and objective findings.
 Example: Courtney met with a dietician last
week to discuss how to follow a diabetic diet.
Courtney stated an understanding and
compliance with following a diabetic diet.
However, her personal assistant reported that
Courtney was eating a ½ gallon of ice cream
weekly and drinking a 2L of pop daily.
29

Document plan on addressing assessment finding (address each
abnormal finding).
 Example: Create food diary with Courtney and follow-up weekly.
Take Courtney grocery shopping weekly and teach her how to read
food labels and choose healthy foods.

Report any issues or barriers to implementing this action plan.
 Example: The nearest grocery store with a variety of fresh fruits and
vegetables is 45 minutes away.

Document follow-up to action items.
 Example: TC re-visited Courtney a month later and found her blood
glucose readings were consistently over 200 mg/dl. TC will arrange
for Courtney to meet with her dietician and primary care provider to
discuss strategies to improve diabetic management.
