%%{ init: { 'theme': 'base' } }%% graph TD accTitle: Visualisation of a conceptual data model for Administrative Information accDescr: To help your care run smoothly, there is a lot of behind-the-scenes work focused on keeping everyone connected through clear communication and organized records. This includes sharing documents and important details about when you start or finish using a care service. Your care worker will regularly schedule a "review" to check in on how things are going. This review is the main place where big decisions happen; your team looks at your assessments, daily activities, and specific instructions to decide if your overall care plan needs to be updated. This process ensures that the support you receive is always current and based on what is actually happening in your life. %% Main People and Entities Sub[Subject of Care] CA[Care Actor] SP[Service Provider] %% Central Administrative Items Comm[Communication] Doc[Document] Adm[Admission details] Dis[Discharge Details] Occ[Occupancy] Rev[Review] %% Supporting Concepts (Side boxes) subgraph Context Location Address Event end %% Administrative Flow Comm -- sends/receives --> CA Comm -- concerns --> Sub Doc -- records/concerns --> CA Doc -- concerns --> Sub Adm -- provides/concerns --> SP Adm -- concerns --> Sub Dis -- provides/concerns --> SP Dis -- concerns --> Sub Occ -- concerns --> SP CA -- Schedules --> Rev %% Review Fan-out Rev -- concerns --> Assessment Rev -- concerns --> Instruction Rev -- concerns --> Action Rev -- concerns --> Activity Rev -- concerns --> CarePlan
