There have been changes to the Recommended Summary Plan for Emergency Care and Treatment (ReSPECT) workflow for anyone attending after a recent admission who’s ReSPECT plan is still current and correct.

A new ReSPECT form doesn’t need to be filled out for each admission if it is still current and relevant from previous admissions, as it can be pulled through and used again. 

Below are the SOPs for how to print a form, how to review a form from previous admission if no changes are needed, and how to modify resuscitation status:

• CHBCCD088 - Confirming and Modifying Resuscitation Status In Adults and Paediatrics
• CHBCCD-QRG001 - Changing Resuscitation Status if a New ReSPECT Plan Will Not be Documented in EPR for the Current Episode of Care
• CHBCCD-QRG-002 - Printing a Paper Copy of ReSPECT Plan from a Previous Episode of Care
