Evidence your care home is well-led
Evidence your care home is well-led
Is your care home well-led? This is one of the five key lines of enquiries the CQC and other regulators ask during an inspection. There are a number of ways you can showcase leadership which will factor into the final outcome.
CareDocs supports your business at all levels and can help you receive better oversight of your care home, which is extremely useful in an inspection scenario. We’ve highlighted some features below which give you the ability to evidence management at your business.
KPIs & reports
CareDocs has powerful reporting functions. The system looks at data that has been recorded and analyses it to provide instant charts, statistics and reports. This means the vast majority of information your staff are logging can potentially be presented back to you in an easily digestible way.
Using our KPIs and reporting tools, you can find identify trends, potential issues, strengths, areas of improvement, how staff are engaging with the software and residents, and more. CareDocs can save you hours of admin work to provide the data you need to make informed decisions and communicate those to your staff.
To check if your follow-up actions have started to have an effect, you can use the same reporting tools to generate new data. A business that is well-led will have positive impacts on other areas, increasing safety, response, effectiveness and care.
Home Diary entries
Show how organised your business is by keeping logs of staff and home events. CareDocs has a digital Home Diary tool that allows you to schedule meetings, visits, inspections, maintenance, training and other internal affairs that don’t involve residents.
Home Diary entries are stored separately from resident records and are easy to locate and manage. Demonstrating that you’re actively involved and aware of what’s going on during the day-to-day running of your home, keeping on top of issues that arise and tackling them swiftly, and then following up afterwards to see the results, is an effective way to lead a business well.
Training & supervisions
Monitor each staff member’s training progress by logging the modules they are required to complete directly in the system. Staff can view their modules, deadlines and details for upcoming sessions. Once training is done, it can be recorded against their profiles. Managers have the option to create training reports to easily see who has or still needs to complete specific modules.
Supervisions is another tool designed for managers to log the details of private meetings with staff members. If an issue arises, key information can be recorded and continually updated until it has been resolved. Evidencing your involvement in the development of your staff and in creating a safe and effective work environment is a simple way to prove your leading abilities.
Store & update policies & procedures
It’s critical to ensure your business’s policies and procedures are up to date and accessible. Many documents are required to be created and kept up to date to maintain compliance with basic care regulations. Having digital Policies & Procedures in CareDocs helps you create and manage yours.
Our care experts have produced dozens of thorough templates which can be imported and edited to reflect the needs of your business. And we have provided monitoring tools to help you see exactly which of your staff have read them. With care software, it’s easy to get across that you are leading well in this department.
