The PCAT will support the process of determining eligibility for nursing support, and ensure consistent and comprehensive consideration of an individual’s clinical nursing needs. The evidence set out in the tool should be used by the HSE PHCP Coordinator to support a recommendation based on the key characteristics of complexity, risk, frequency and severity of the child’s nursing needs. The PCAT is an assessment that is carried out as a single event and as a series of assessments during the period of the requirement for a paediatric homecare package. It is an assessment unique to the child at a point in time using a standardized approach.
