An overview

ASM PREPARE and ASM PREPARE - Express are practice review and planning tools developed to assist HACC funded agencies:

• Develop a structured view of their current strengths and areas for improvement in delivering an ASM approach
• Identify current practices that are already consistent with an Active Service Model philosophy of care
• Identify changes in structure and practice required to move to an Active Service approach and
• Prioritise and plan their implementation strategies for their initial agency implementation plan due on 30 September 2010.

ASM PREPARE was the first tool to be developed. An outcome of the piloting process was identifying the need for a more streamlined tool as an option for smaller agencies, and those funded for only one or two HACC service types. This led to the development of ASM PREPARE - Express.

The key difference between ASM PREPARE and ASM PREPARE - Express is how they deal with the point of service commencement. In the ASM PREPARE tool, there is an in-depth consideration of the steps of Initial Contact and Initial Needs Identification, Assessment, Care Planning and Review. This reflects the roles of providers of multiple services, and those with a strong focus on assessment services, such as HACC Assessment Services. ASM PREPARE – Express rolls up Initial Contact and Initial Needs Identification, Assessment, Care Planning and Review into one combined section called Service Commencement.
