We’re excited to announce v4.7.0 is now ready to download. Our newest software release introduces two brand new Care Assessments and Care Plans into the CareDocs system: ‘Elimination’ and ‘Vaccinations’.

You can now create care plans for Elimination which cover the following subjects:

• Red Flags: Triggers for bladder and bowel. 
• Toileting: Using Getliffe and Dolman criteria. 
• Continence: Incontinence for bladder and bowel, medical causes, types of incontinence, contributory factors, health professional involvement and continence products. 
• Urinary Tract Infections (U.T.I.): Symptoms, testing, diagnosis and treatment.
• Catheters: The reason for catheterisation, type of catheter, frequency of changes and drainage details. 
• Bowel Actions: Bowel frequency and functionality, Bowels Open form, intervention, stoma type and stoma care. 
• Capacity and Consent.
• Outcomes.

You can also now record vaccination consent and other supporting information regarding past vaccinations using the Vaccinations assessment. This data will be transferred to the individual’s care plan and will also be integrated into the ‘Care Assessment Statistics’ report so you can view consent information for multiple residents on one page. For example, you could generate an instant report for the assessment question ‘Which vaccinations has the resident consented to?’, and CareDocs will show you how each resident answered.

This can be used as an alternative to completing the ‘Consent for Vaccination(s)’ form which gives you the option to record the consent information for a single resident into a digital form. Saved forms can be revisited at any time but can only be viewed one at a time.
