Created by Harrigan Phillips, Modified on Wed, 14 Feb 2024 at 11:31 AM by Hannah Whitaker

Also known as Support Plans, Care Plans are used to record the overall plan of looking after the Learner and can encompass as much as required possibly including categories such as Medication, Allergies, Toileting, Dressing, Eating, Wellbeing etc.



TABLE OF CONTENTS



Locating Care Plans (Detailed)



Navigate to the Care Plan Detailed page by clicking on Care in the module list on the left, and then selecting Care Plan Detailed from the dropdown that appears. 


As a default, the Care Plan Detailed page will appear blank. To select a Learner, click on the blue Options button on the right, and from the dropdown select Change Learner. A window will then appear and you can use the filters available to find the relevant Learner. Use the 'As Of' checkbox with the date selector to specify if you only want to view Care Statements added since a certain date.


Along the top of the page there are four options, Care Plan, Events, Documents, and Risks.


If you have set up pronouns for a Learner on the Personal tab, they will appear next to their name on the Care Plan Detailed screen, as well as on the print out if you choose to print the Care Plan.




Care Plan


This page displays the Care Plan and any Care Statements for the Learner.


Adding/Editing Statements


To build a Care Plan, you essentially need to add Statements to it. Click on the Add Statements button and you will get the list of Categories and Statements setup as per the article before this one. If you do not see anything, you should go back to that article and set some up.

 

From here, you have the following options:


  1. Click on the down arrow next to a Category to see the Statements underneath. Click the + icon next to any to add them.
  2. Click on the table icon next to a Category to add ALL the Statements underneath. 
  3. Click on the icon next to a Category to add a completely custom Statement for that Category to this individual Care Plan.


When you are happy with the Statements you have selected, click on the Save button and the Care Plan screen will update accordingly.


To edit a Statement, simply click the title/label for it. This will bring up a window with five tabs:


Details


Edit the title of the selected Statement as well as any notes added. Also use the Review Date field to choose a Review Date for this, and specify if you want the Statement to appear on the ILP using the Show on ILP field.


Note:
For any statement that has an expired review date, a calendar icon will appear next to the entry to notify of this.



Related Files


This tab lets you add any additional files to a Statement. Simply click on the Add Document button and then select the relevant file accordingly. 


Any Related Files uploaded to the Statement will appear on this tab, and you can delete existing Related Files using the Trashcan icon, or download the file using the Download icon.



Note:
Any files uploaded here are only to attach to individual Care Statements, and as such, do not appear on the Documents page of a Learner's record.



Risks


Use this tab to apply Risk Assessments to an individual Care Statement. To do so, click on the Add Risk button. 


This will open a window, where you can then Select a Risk Assessment Type, the specific Hazard, as well as the Likelihood x Severity rating and the corresponding RAG rating. Any Risk Assessments linked to a Care Statement will appear underneath the relevant Care Statement when the Master Category it is found in is expanded.



Note:
In order for there to be any Assessment Types to choose from, you must first apply these to a Learner's Record. You can read more about this by clicking here.


Linked Events


You can Link Event Logs to Statements. To do so click on 'Link Event(s)' and enter the Event Log ID you would like to link. Any linked events will then appear under this tab.

This tab displays the Date and Staff that have seen this Statement. 



Events



The Events tab on a Care Plan has three main areas: Upcoming Events, Event Summary, and Audits.

If you need to setup a reminder to create Events for certain categories you can do this on the Learners Care Plan. You will see the Upcoming Events area on the left hand side.

 

To add a new scheduled Event. click on the Add Scheduled Event(s) button in this area. A modal will appear asking you to enter the following information:



FieldDescription

You can click Add Event to add an event in this screen.

Event Summary


The Event Summary area will display a breakdown of any events recorded for a Learner, separated by Event Category, and displaying the date of the event, which user entered the event, as well as recorded amount (where applicable, eg. Medication) and the status of the event.


Clicking on the eye icon next to an event in the Event Summary table will take you to the event details page for that event.


You can change the date range that you want events to appear in the Event Summary area, by clicking on the light blue pill button that reads Last 24 Hours, and from the dropdown selecting a new date range up to 30 days.



Audits


If required you can set audits on a Care Plan which uses the Event Log in Databridge to confirm if the audit was met or not.  Click on the Events option at the top, then locate the Audit Types on the left hand side.

 

Click on Add Audit and enter the following information as required:



FieldDescription
CategoryThe Event Log category this Audit is for, eg. Medication, Daily Routine, Weight Recording, etc

AmountIf option was set to Amount, set the total value you want to ensure was reached. If option was set to Times per day, set the value to how many Events need to be recorded
Monday - SundaySelect which weekdays the audit will be checked



Click Save when you have finished.



Information:
An example of using the option Amount could be where the category is Fluid Recording and you set the value to 1000ml. This audit would then check any Events added for that category and that the amount field values entered has totalled 1000 or above.

An example of using the option Times per day could be where the category is Medication and you set the value to 2. The audit would then check that at least 2 events have been added to that category.
