Treatment Escalation Planning

Making the right decisions when you are ill in hospital

A Treatment Escalation Plan (TEP) is a form that the health care team use to record a person’s individual care plan should they become very unwell, deteriorate or if there is an emergency in their condition. The TEP will focus on which treatments and care may or may not be most helpful to them. This plan will be used to guide the health care team who are caring for you while you are in hospital.
