INTRODUCTION
A person-centred approach is mainly focus over the elements of care, support as well as
the care treatment which can matter most of the vulnerable patients, their relatives and carers as
well. In health and social care, the care professionals can work collaboratively with the people
who can use the care services. The person-centred care can encourage the people to improve the
skills, knowledge’s as well as confidence they generally require to be more efficiently manage as
well as can make an informed decision about their own well-being and care as well. The care can
effectively help to reduce the risks of various negative, harmful, or an unfair care treatment and
neglect to the recipients of well-being and the social care services. A person is mainly put at the
centre of a care and can be able to select as well as control how they want their care and the
support to be delivered. The health need assessment is mainly a systematic approach for
visualizing the well-being problems that the population is generally facing, leading to an agreed
priority as well as the allocation of resources which will enhance the well-being and can
effectively decreases the disparities as well. In this report, it will cover a case study of Natalie,
67-year-old lady sought an emergency medical care due to prolonged chest pain and for her there
is an identification of stages of care planning processes with help of relevant theories and can
also exhibiting the necessity of the person-centred approach throughout the procedure. In
addition to this, there is also a discussion about the relevant legislations and the social policy
which can impact the process of care delivery across the health and social care (Hogston and
Simpson, 2001).

Stages of the care planning process.
In care planning, it is generally the procedure by which the well-being care professionals
as well as the patients can discuss, agrees as well as can review an action plan to effectively
attain the aims and goals or the specific behavioural alterations of most of the relevance towards
the patient. In this, a care plan is mainly a written document generally record the results of the
care planning process. The care planning process can involve the four main phases which are
detailed below. These such phases can be worked via in a sequential process to effectively create
a care plan with the patient such as Natalie in a single patient encounter and then effectively
managed via the follow-up. Therefore, a care plan can also be improved iteratively over a series
of encounter of her, frequently with the contribution of various well-being care providers,
through which additional information about Natalie is collected as well as considered in
processing the care plan with her as well. Ultimately, the care plan is mainly a living document,
it is continually adjusted with the Natalie as more information can become available, such as
through the follow-ups or assessment of the Natalie done by the other service providers (Nursing
Process, 2021). In this, a complete care planning procedures can also involve some care plan
management activities like encouraging her in attaining the self-management goals or can
coordinate the care for Natalie as well. In addition to this, the care planning process can involve
the stages are as detailed below:
Assessment:
It is mainly the first step in the care planning part of Natalie and can include the critical
thinking skills as well as collection of information about Natalie in both objective and subjective
manner. In this, the subjective information can include the verbal statements from the Natalie
and healthcare professional. The objective information is particularly the measurable information
about Natalie such as the vital signs, intake and output and weight and height of Natalie. Here
assessment can involve such as Natalie's physical examination of the cardiac system like
palpation, auscultation of the cardiac sounds and many more. The information can come from the
Natalie more directly or from the primary care provider who can or cannot be in direct
connection with her relatives. In this, the critical thinking skills are important to the assessment,
thus required for concept-based curriculum alterations (Acute Myocardial Infarction, 2022).
