Electronic care plans for care homes - PretaForm

1. Electronic care plans for care homes The Problem: Many care home implement quality care systems that comprise of paperprint outs of care plans and medicine administering records. These two forms alone could be over 36 pages long. It wastes a significant amount of time for carers to fill out sheets of information, precious time that could be spent caring for residents. Care plans need to be updated several times a day. Each time this occurs, the entire document of 36 pages is often reprinted and filed in binders. This can also cause issues with data protection laws such as the incoming GDPR. For larger organisations with several care homes each one could have their own version of the care plans, so there is no consistency with what and how the data is collected further increasing the time needed to satisfy the regulator. The Solution: As IT skills are generally not high in the carers’ demographic, it’s imperative to ensure the electronic data collection is simple and the user interface intuitive so that carers spend a lot less time on form filling. eForms can introduce data collection features such as point and click options from a drop down list, relieving repetitive entry of information. Many fields can also be pre-populated. As the eCare plans are built and powered by our cloud based PretaForm “no-low code” eforms/workflow building tool, the forms can be modified easily and cost effectively by a non-technical person. So the look, layout and form elements such as the fields of the care plans can be tailored to the homes specific needs. Form access is role-based so only authorised people can access the care information, be if staff or family members. The Benefits: Electronic care plans provide significant time saving, robust monitoring and improved efficiency. Cloud based quality management solutions care home managers, owners to view the status of their homes can be accessed from anywhere, anytime. Once data is stored in the cloud, reports and views of information can easily be produced to show CQC inspectors.
