‘Provider had recently introduced a new electronic care plan software, which the registered manager told us had been very effective and enables staff to respond to people’s needs. Staff said, “If care is missed the device will flag this up. This is been effective for escalating health issues like vital signs and any missed two hourly turns and supplements of fluids”. Each person had an up to date care plan which set out for staff how their needs should be met. Care plans contained information about people’s likes, dislikes, allergies and their preferences for how care and support was provided.’
