It guides providers to work collaboratively with the consumer to agree working practices and develop a shared care plan aligned with personal recovery goals. With the consumer’s consent, family members or other carers are encouraged to participate and receive their own copies of relevant plans. The document emphasizes consent, confidentiality, and appropriate information sharing, supported by a recovery-oriented service approach and coordinated, timely access to services and information.","OVERVIEW\nThe aim of establishing and maintaining shared care arrangements for mutual consumers is to facilitate the recovery process and assist consumers to regain their place as involved members of the community. This will be supported by the provision of collaborative and coordinated service delivery by partner agencies.\nWhen an individual is identified as requiring the assistance of multiple services within the Eastern Mental Health Service Coordination Alliance (EMHSCA), service providers should come together with the consumer to:\nEstablish agreed working practices with the shared consumer and secondly to\nConsider the development of a shared care plan.\nThe shared care plan will promote a shared understanding of the consumer and their personal recovery goals promote consistency in practice and ensure all parties are working towards the consumer’s identified goals.\nWith the consent of the consumer, family members or others involved in a care giving role should be encouraged to be involved in shared care arrangements as well as the development of a shared care plan (where appropriate). The consumer should have his/her own copy of the plan/s, and where indicated copies should be provided to all parties involved in the plan.\nConsent, confidentiality, and appropriate information sharing are central tenets to recovery oriented shared care and as such there are a number of links provided on page 5 to assist service providers.\nPROTOCOL OBJECTIVE\nThe aim of this guideline is to ensure optimum responsiveness and support for the needs of consumers and their families/carers involved with several services in the Eastern Mental Health Service Coordination Alliance.  These guidelines also provide a useful benchmark for Alliance members’ interactions with other services not part of the Alliance, but with whom there are shared consumers.\nThe scope of the guidelines includes:\nCollaborative practices for service providers when working together with shared consumers\nCollaborative practices for the development of shared care plans\nDEFINITIONS\nEastern Mental Health Service Coordination Alliance Services (EMHSCA) – All Eastern Metropolitan Region of Melbourne services involved in the provision of care to people with a mental health concern who have signed the EMHSCA Memorandum of Understanding 2013.\nIRP – Individual Recovery Plan\nConsumer - a person, who has been diagnosed with a mental illness, has direct experience of Mental Health Services or identifies as a consumer [VMIAC’s definition].\n- The term “consumer” refers to people, who directly or indirectly make use of mental health services.\nCarer - the family members and friends of someone with a mental illness whose lives are also affected by the mental illness. Many people fall into the role of ‘Carer’ because they see it as an extension of their responsibilities within the relationship they have with the person with mental health issues (Information for Families and Carers of People with Mental Illness DHS 2005)- Carers can provide from a few hours care per week up to 24 hours a day. Carers may not necessarily live with the person for whom they care.\nPlanning Coordinator – The person identified by the consumer (or otherwise by consensus) as the most appropriate to coordinate the care planning process and the contributions of all involved parties. This role involves arranging meetings with all parties to the consumer’s plan and facilitating the updating and circulation of the consumer’s plan. Note: A Support Facilitator or Care Coordinator could take on this role where appropriate.\nCare Coordinator/Support Facilitator – Person specifically employed to support and coordinate the provision of timely and appropriate care to people with multiple and complex needs.\nClinical Case Manager/clinician – an employee of the Adult Mental Health Program providing direct clinical service.\nCommunity Mental Health Practitioner -
