Care¶
The Care application brings together all medical and nursing follow-up of residents: medication, care plans, vital signs, notes, and the clinical registers (falls, wounds, pain, nutrition…). It is designed for the daily work of the care staff.
The dashboard¶
When you open it, the dashboard highlights what needs attention today: care to carry out, points to watch, administrations to give. You start from here for your round.
What the application covers¶
Prescriptions and medication — Medication catalogue, prescriptions, administrations, batches and stock. → Prescriptions
Care plans and vital signs — Care plans, planning of the day’s care, vital signs and trends, nursing notes. → Care plans
Clinical registers — Falls, pressure ulcers (Braden), wounds, pain, restraint, nutrition (MNA), continence, mobility, cognition. → Registers
Main menus¶
Medical — dependency assessment, nursing notes, attention points, vital signs entry, care planning, today’s care, my assigned care, care plans, prescriptions, administrations, hospitalisation.
Registers — the dedicated clinical registers.
Stock — medication batches, stock withdrawals.
Configuration — medication catalogue, pathologies (ICD-10), allergens, drug interactions, and the national medication database where the country provides one.
In Belgium
The dependency assessment is the Katz scale, and the medication catalogue is fed from the official SAM database: see Care in Belgium and The SAM medication database.
Separate but connected
The Care application is separate from billing, but connected to the residents: a hospitalisation entered here appears, on the billing side, as an absence that adjusts the allowance.
