Desuto DoLS application forms now have additional priority criteria feature.
Any hospital or care home who has made a DoLS application in the last 3 years will probably know there is no guarantee that their Local Authority will be able to undertake their assessments quickly.
Most authorities now rely on a triaging process that identifies assessment priorities. These priorities are likely to be based on guidance issued by the Association of Directors of Adult Social Services.
Our new feature includes a tick list of the most commonly used priority criteria which is auto-completed as the user works through the tool.
This will allow your Local Authority to decide when the application that you submitted will lead to an assessment.
