How CareDocs works: Residents
“Everybody uses the system, it just saves so much time, and the presentation is fantastic”
The Residents heading allows residents to be filtered by Name, Location (floor, wing, ward etc) or Placement (Respite, temporary, present, past). Once the resident in question is identified each has a unique ‘file’ with details being added to a template personalized for your own Home.

The heart of the CareDocs system. There are 32 main headings within the Assessment. Assessments are completed by answering a series of multiple-choice questions, with each next question being determined automatically by the answers to all previous questions, so that questions that do not apply to a resident are excluded. At the completion of the assessment a simple click on the ‘Prepare Care Plan’ button will create a fully written, fully detailed, complete Care Plan, within moments. The entire process can take as little as 20 minutes.
Care Plan
Produced at a touch of a button on completion of the Assessment, a typical Care Plan can be seen here. It should be noted that, once completed, Care Plans can be changed and added to as required. Also, that copies of all previous Care Plans are kept on the system, ensuring that no historic information is lost. Any part, or all of a Care Plan can be printed from the Printing Section.
Residents’ Daily Occurrence
The Residents’ Daily Occurrence area allows quick access to each resident’s Daily Occurrence journal; residents being easily accessed from a drop-down menu. A separate drop-down menu lists most events in the life of a typical Home, with the ability to add as many more as are required.
Date and locations can be added and a description of the event. An option is to have a standard phrase for an event, so that the descriptive passage is produced and entered automatically.
By using the calendar and event filter it’s possible to produce a report on the timing and frequency of any diary event over a chosen time period.
There is also a separate but integral Diary Mode for the monitoring of personal care needs on a short term basis to help ensure that short term care objectives are being met. This area helps to keep all the relevant reports on a specific short–term condition or problem in one easily accessed place on the system.
