Escalation plan

Definition

From:

NICE Guideline NG119 - Cerebral palsy in adults

National Institute for Health and Care Excellence

A record of the interventions that a person would find acceptable, in line with their values, goals and preferences. It can be used to indicate that more intensive or invasive interventions would be unacceptable to the person. For example, an escalation plan of ward-based care only, indicates that the person would not want invasive monitoring, intubation and ventilation, which are undertaken as part of intensive care.
