Essentials of Care - Domains

For the purposes of helping us to understand how, when and where aspects of care occur in day-to-day practice, they have been categorised into nine care domains. These domains are:

  • Documentation and communication
  • Promoting self management Link to Essentials of Care General domains pdf
  • Medications/IV products
  • Privacy and Dignity
  • Clinical Interventions
  • Clinical Monitoring and management
  • Preventing risk and promoting safety
  • Learning and development culture
  • Personal care

These domains have been sensitised for use in four areas: Communty Health, Maternity, Mental Health and Paediatrics. For all other areas the existing domains can be adapted to suit your local context.
