Care Planning in CareDocs
Person-centred care is at the heart of CareDocs.
Ensuring those you care for receive the most appropriate care is what we strive for. To support you to achieve this, we provide intelligent and comprehensive (yet easy to understand) assessments.
Using your answers, and combining them with other information such as DOB, height, and weight, CareDocs produces a personalised care plan, reflective of the needs and preferences of each individual.
Don’t just take our word for it, though! Check out the testimonials below for comments made by customers who have used the CareDocs system.

CareDocs is arguably one of the best investments the Home has made, and I would not hesitate to recommend it to anyone thinking of changing from paperwork to a computer management system.

We had the CQC site visit last week. The Inspector was very impressed with the CareDocs system, and all the questions he had relating to personalised care plans - the CareDocs system was the answer.
Jan Foley

CareDocs is an extremely useful care planning system. The information is easily analysed, personalised and accessible and my team particularly likes the monitoring aspect.

Once you know your way around the CareDocs system it's truly fantastic. Every health professional that sees me using it is impressed by the sheer amount of information I can pull up on demand.
Joan Evans
Care Home Owner

Our Manager has gone from a computer newbie to a true professional, and has taken to operating the CareDocs system with ease. I don't know how we managed before CareDocs came along!

CareDocs has been our saviour, and has assisted us to manage and maintain compliance and the quality of the person-centred care we provide, impressing our inspectors on many occasions.

The lady we had visit was professional, friendly and helpful and I was delighted with the visit. My staff are now confident in using CareDocs and we’ve only needed to contact CareDocs once since our training!
Andrew Heavens
Deputy Manager

All of the CareDocs staff are very helpful, understanding, explained the topics well and solved all of my concerns. Great customer service from the whole team, especially Mark, Sarah and Corly!

CareDocs provided us with an informative session and Paul covered a lot of ground in a short space of time. The staff found it useful and I will actively encourage them to make use of the training videos.
Care Planning – as easy as 1-2-3!
CareDocs employs a unique 3-step process to create fully comprehensive and person-centred care plans.
Step 1
Complete an assessment using the CareDocs system.
Completing assessments can be a complex and time-consuming process that requires an in-depth knowledge of current standards and legislation.
There is always the inherent risk that some areas may be overlooked or missed or, with standards changing all the time, some questions become outdated.
With CareDocs you’ll never have to worry about assessments. We ensure that they cover all the necessary areas, and that they are kept up to date with all current regulations.
We have simplified the process so that even a complete novice can complete a full and thorough assessment. A series of interactive questions guide the user through all the sections and builds a complete profile of the resident. Each question is determined by the answer to the previous question, thereby ensuring that only the necessary questions within each section appear.
Once you have completed the assessment, you’ll be able to automatically generate a personalised care plan which you can fine-tune and edit as much as you wish.
Separate assessments categories are also available for Waterlow, MUST, Fall Risk and Pain Assessment.
Step 2
CareDocs will generate a draft care plan.
CareDocs creates a personalised care plan from a completed assessment in a matter of seconds. All the information about the resident that has been gathered in the assessment is used to compile a comprehensive and personalised care plan.
The sections are written in full using the resident’s name and all the text can be edited to include other information about the resident or amend the wording as you wish.
By any other method, it’s only once the assessment has been completed that you can start thinking about writing the care plan. This normally takes considerable time and effort to ensure that all the relevant information is entered under the correct headings and all the facts are included.
Step 3
Personalise your bespoke care plan.
It is at this stage that the draft care plan must be edited to make it a truly person-centred document. The inclusion of more detailed information, medical and life history and other intimate details will ensure that the care plan is a comprehensive and detailed document.
As well as the text content, each section has a risk rating and a level of assistance indication – both calculated from the assessment – which can be amended if necessary.
Since the entire care plan is editable it can be kept up to date quickly and easily, minimising the risk of it containing incorrect or outdated information. It also means that every care plan can be truly person-centred and fully compliant.
All amendments and updates to the care plan are held within the CareDocs system so you can track any changes and retain a full audit trail.
To help keep printing costs to a minimum, you can choose to print just an individual section or the entire care plan; but it will always look professional and be branded with your care home’s logo and details.
