CPR decision was completed in 100%, with 94% DNACPR (range 86-100%). A capacity decision was recorded in 93% and emergency contacts in 38% (range 8-88%). Conclusions The process has been embedded across Coventry and Warwickshire, however more care home residents could be supported and old DNACPR paperwork should be reviewed. Nurse led completion is more evident in the community. Documentation of patient involvement using the optional personal preference section is limited. The form is widely used as a DNACPR form; the potential for documenting the goal of care and specific clinical recommendations is not being fully utilised and should be a focus for training. Patients and carers could be encouraged to complete the emergency contacts section.
