Evidence your care home is effective

Is your care home effective? This is one of the CQC’s five key lines of enquiry and a key quality regulators look for during an inspection. There are a number of ways you can showcase an effective service, including showing positive results, growth and innovation.

CareDocs is a care software that supports care businesses at all levels. It can help you make your service more effective and give you extra tools to demonstrate the steps you’re taking to get there, which is extremely useful in an inspection scenario. We’ve highlighted some aspects of the software below which give you the ability to evidence the effectiveness of your business.

CareDocs Evidence Effectiveness Benefit

Person-centred features

Having a person-centred approach to care is the best way to deliver an effective service. But to evidence this you must create detailed care records to document your service.

CareDocs puts the resident at the heart of the software. It was designed by care experts to give care staff the opportunity to enter as much information as possible about the care they are providing.  The system has many features, including Assessments, Care Plans, Daily Notes and Forms, to name a few.

Each tool has been built to be efficient and effective. We have done this by including a variety of ways to engage with the system and encourage communication. Each tool has clear, separate spaces to enter information to help make sure nothing essential is missed. By integrating CareDocs into your care staff’s day-to-day workloads, you will have plenty of meaningful data to examine and showcase to inspectors.

Use a wide range of tools to record care

If you prefer to stick to only one or two tools to record information – for example, daily notes and charts – you may be limiting your business’s chances of providing the most effective service. By utilising a range of tools, you gain different perspectives of your residents which will open up new levels of communication and encourage a more in-depth look into each person’s care.

CareDocs allows you to effortlessly expand your daily toolbox with easy-to-use recording features like Emotion Mapping and Body Maps. There are also tools for supporting staff which you can use to show that you have effectively managed your business.

Use reports and KPI charts to show progress

Gathering and using data is one of the best ways to evidence an effective business. By analysing trends, you can identify areas in the business that require improvement and work on them, or locate areas where you are excelling!

All of the information you record in CareDocs is stored in a single system. This means the work your care staff enter on a daily basis can be used to generate instant digital reports and charts to give you data for a large number of topics. You can pinpoint your reporting to see how individual residents have been responding to their care. This will quickly highlight any anomalies in their health or behaviour.

Reporting is vital because it can break down the current state of the service being provided, and how the service has progressed over a specific time period. Evidencing growth and improvement through reporting will demonstrate an effective care business.

Point of care recording

CareDocs comes with its own online point of care recording platform (CareDocs Cloud Portal). This gives your staff the ability to record care on mobile devices, and have the information instantly sync up with the main CareDocs system.

Point of care recording enables greater accuracy and comfort. Your staff or residents can log care directly into the system from a space of their choosing. Because the care is both written and stored at the location, there is no need to do any fiddly admin work – freeing up more time for your staff and maximising your resource.

Using mobile devices to record care will demonstrate that you offer a modern and flexible service – adaptable to a variety of situations. For example, if a staff member struggles to use computers or handwrite, or if a resident was unable to leave their room.
