CQC have guidelines for Providers telling you how you should record and access your digital records.
Care Home Director addresses each of these items.
They list the following key points.
- provide ‘real time’ information recording about the care and support people need and receive
- help providers and carers to be more aware when people’s needs change, and respond to them more quickly
- offer the ability to use and compare data to improve people’s care
- help information to be shared quickly, accurately and safely to support the provision of health and care services
- help to minimise risks such as medication errors, dehydration or missed visits
- help to support other important health and care functions, such as service management, planning and research
- make it easier for people who use services to access their own records
- help to manage and support staff to do their job effectively and efficiently
- be easier to store, requiring less physical space
- support better use of resources across the health and care system.
The software allows for all of the recommended points listed by CQC with many more features that will make the care given to residents seem that more personal.
