The general assessments are staff and personal friends and relatives describing the individual, descriptions of health, and so on. The PFW is intended to be a living document and the big picture component.
The
Individual Support Plan Agenda (ISP Agenda) tracks the ISP Meeting date, ISP Meeting Type, Review Periods, and linked PFWs. The agenda also tracks annual and periodic assessments, progress toward outcomes, required items, and attachments (PDFs and other digital documents).
