How CareDocs Works

Home Status

The Home Status page allows management to see everything that may concern them on a single page. It pulls together information from every other part of the system, from weight monitoring to fridge temperatures and staff training, using a traffic light system to highlight anything abnormal.

Care Home Residents

The Residents heading allows residents to be filtered by Name, Location or Placement. Once the resident in question is identified, each has a unique ‘file’ detailing their name, personal details, contacts, a diary, full details and records of medications; body maps; weight, respiration, glucose levels, blood pressure, heart rate, temperature and epileptic fit recording with automatically generated graphs, a likes and dislikes sheet and, potentially, the most important area of the CareDocs system, the Resident’s Assessment and Care Planning area.

Residents’ Daily Occurrence

The Residents’ Daily Occurrence area gives quick access to each resident allowing rapid updates of Daily Occurrences, the calendar and events filter allowing the rapid reporting of any event over a measured time. There is also a separate but integral Journal Mode for the monitoring of personal care needs on a short term basis to help ensure that short term care objectives are being met.

Care Home Staff

The Staff section has a Message Centre allowing Management (and Staff) to communicate with each other either by broadcast or on an individual basis. There’s a section for individual and corporate training records and matrices, Time Sheets, Personal Records and a ‘Supervisions’ section.

The Care Home

The Home’s Diary gives access to both a Diary page used for both general events in the Home and for events involving a group of Residents. The Group Event Diary allows personalized details of individual residents participation in group events to be logged on to their individual Daily Occurrence Diaries without the need to replicate information, saving considerable time and effort.

The Home’s Records area holds details pertinent to the daily running of the Home. Daily Menus, Daily Checks (Cooking and freezer temperatures etc), Fire and Safety Records, lifts, hoists and any other home maintenance and servicing records you may wish to include are logged here. As with all other Sections of the CareDocs system, any entry out of the ordinary is automatically reported back to the Home Status page using a traffic light system. There’s also a simple resident invoicing section.

Printing Section

The Printing Section allows you to run copies of Care Plans and other individual items. It also enables the production of a variety of reports such as Care Dependency and Assessment statistics.
