Self-monitoring

Here you will find information about self-monitoring in the wellbeing services county, self-monitoring plans and the self-monitoring programme.

What is self-monitoring? 

Self-monitoring refers to the measures and actions taken by the service organiser and the service provider to monitor, control and evaluate their activities. Self-monitoring is the primary form of monitoring. Self-monitoring ensures the availability, continuity, safety and quality of health and social services, the equality of clients and the fulfilment of the legal obligations of service organisers and providers. The self-monitoring plans of the units and the self-monitoring programme covering the entire wellbeing services county play an important role in self-monitoring.

Self-monitoring programme

According to the Act on the Supervision of Healthcare and Social Welfare Services, the wellbeing services county must draw up a self-monitoring programme for the tasks and services for which it is responsible. The self-monitoring programme is a high-level guideline on how the wellbeing services county carries out monitoring and how the wellbeing services county ensures that its organisational responsibilities are fulfilled. 
 

The Wellbeing Services County of Vantaa and Kerava have two separate self-monitoring programmes. One of the programmes is for the Rescue Services of Central Uusimaa and the other for the health and social services.

Reporting on quality and self-monitoring programme

The report is published three times a year on the website of the wellbeing services county.

Self-monitoring plan

All public and private providers of health and social services must draw up and publish a self-monitoring plan for each service unit. In the self-monitoring plan, the service provider describes the main risks associated with the provision of the services provided by the service unit and how the service provider and its staff monitor and ensure the quality, appropriateness and safety of the services and the sufficiency of the staff involved in client and patient care. The Wellbeing Services County of Vantaa and Kerava has a template for self-monitoring plans at the level of the wellbeing services county, which is used in both healthcare and social welfare services. 
 

The implementation of the self-monitoring plan must be monitored and a report on the monitoring must be drawn up. Any changes made on the basis of this report must be announced at least every four months in connection with the publication of the self-monitoring plan. In addition, monitoring and reporting at the level of the wellbeing services county is carried out in the reporting on quality and the self-monitoring programme.
