Before we can deliver appropriate nursing care to a complex patient, we need to first acquire the relevant skillset that allows us to identify a patient with complex health care requirements. This includes analysing medical and situational factors that contribute to a complex health care scenario.

Once this has occurred Registered Nurses and other members of the health care team can initiate complex care planning commencing with analysis of the risk of further harm/hospitalisation, identification of the individual’s goals and any barriers to care including conflicting treatment approaches for client with multiple medical conditions.
