Summary
The About Me standard helps people share information about what is most important to them with health and care professionals so that staff can provide better, more person-centred care whenever and wherever it is needed.
About Me information may include things like how best to communicate with the person, put them at ease during treatment, their spiritual or religious beliefs, or what arrangements to make for family or pets if they are hospitalised.
The Professional Record Standards Body (PRSB) has published a standard outlining how About Me information should be documented and shared in health and care records.
#CareAboutMe aims to raise widespread awareness of the About Me standard and the improvements it can make to the quality of care administered in health and care, as well as the positive impact it can have on people’s quality of life and health. PRSB wants to help every person share information about ‘what matters to me’ by using PRSB’s About Me standard. The goal is to help professionals provide better care and for people to experience lasting benefits to their health and wellbeing.e hospitalised.
