Here you will find information about self-monitoring in the wellbeing services county, self-monitoring plans and the self-monitoring programme.
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.
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.
The Act on the Supervision of Healthcare and Social Welfare Services obliges the wellbeing services county to monitor the implementation of the self-monitoring programme. The implementation of the self-monitoring programme in the Wellbeing Services County of Vantaa and Kerava can be monitored through quality and self-monitoring reporting. The report is published three times a year on the website of the wellbeing services county. Self-monitoring ensures the equality of clients and the availability, continuity, safety and quality of services. The quality and self-monitoring reporting makes it possible for you to learn how these aspects are implemented in the Wellbeing Services County of Vantaa and Kerava and what kind of observations and measures have been taken.
The reports are in Finnish.
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.
