Setting up Care Categories and Statements

Created by Tyron Brown-Peters, Modified on Mon, 9 Jan, 2023 at 10:55 AM by Harrigan Phillips

Before using Care Plans, you will need to setup appropriate Categories and Statements for selection.


TABLE OF CONTENTS



 

Locating the Setup Area


Navigate to Administration -> Standard Values in the left hand navigation menu. Under the Defaults area, find and click on Care Statements.

 

This will take you to a screen specifically for adding/editing Categories and Statements for use with the Care Plan. Any existing ones will be displayed by default and you can use the + icon to break down any Categories to see the Statements underneath,

 


 

Adding Categories


To add a Category to the top of this list, click on the File menu and select Add Master Category.

To add a Category underneath an existing one to create a sub-category, first click on the Category in the list you wish to add to, then click Add -> Add Sub-Category.

 

Whichever option you choose you will see a modal asking for the following information:

 

FieldDescription
 

Category

 
 

The title/label for the Category.

 
 

Prompt

 
 

Optional. Free text box to give anyone adding custom statements from this Category a prompt/description of what to add. 

 
 

Dormant

 
 

Tick if this Category is no longer used.

 
 

Share on Student?

 
 

If ticked, any Statements added to this Category will also display on the Learner record under the Shared Care Statements area. This is useful if anything like Medication or Allergies is the category and needs to be seen by all not just those with access to Care Plans.

 

 

When finished, click on the Save button and the list will update accordingly.

 


 

Adding Statements


Locate the Category you wish to add a Statement underneath first. Then click on Add -> Add Statement.

 

A modal will appear for you to fill out the title/label of the Statement and any default notes that will display when added to a Learners Care Plan. Click Save when finished and the list will update accordingly.

 


 

Adding Custom Questions


If a Statement may require additional fields then you can add a list of custom Questions for it. To do this, locate the Statement you wish to edit and click on it to get the relevant modal.

 

On the right hand side you will see a list of existing Questions setup (blank if none have been setup as yet). To add one click on Action -> Add Question. This will ask you to enter the following:

 

FieldDescription
 

Label 

 
 

The question or title/label of field.

 
 

Field Type

 
 

Select between checkbox, text, dropdown, multi-select dropdown or date. If selecting Dropdown as the field type,  use the Change Options button to set what options it will contain.

 

 

When finished, click on the Save button and the list on the right will update accordingly.

 

To edit an existing Question, click on the notepad icon in the same row.

To remove an existing Question, click on the trash icon in the same row.



 

Re-Ordering Categories and Statements


To change the order the Categories and/or Statements will list, you can do one of the following:

  • For root/master Categories, click on File -> Move Master Categories.
  • For sub-categories, click on the relevant Category they fall under, then Move -> Move Sub Categories.
  • For Statements, click on the relevant Category they fall under, then Move -> Move Statements.

 


 

Additional Permissions


Whilst the Care Plan screen itself requires permission to access, you may require certain Categories and/or Statements can only be viewed by certain groups as well.

 

You can do this by either:

  • Clicking on a Category and clicking the Permissions button. By default it will allow full access but you can use the New Permission button to set certain groups that would have access and whether that be View/Edit access accordingly.
  • Clicking on a Statement and clicking Action -> Permissions. By default it will allow full access but you can use the New Permission button to set certain groups that would have access and whether that be View/Edit access accordingly.
