Abstract:

• A care plan audit was carried out as part of an action research project involving the introduction of primary nursing.

• The audit tool was based on the Roper, Logan and Tierney Activities of Living model and the nursing process.

• The audit showed that few changes in documentation had taken place as a result of the introduction of primary nursing.

• The volume of communications had increased but much of this was not documented on care plans.

• Other positive changes as a result of introducing primary nursing were found, and both patients and nurses were aware of these.
