“The home implemented an electronic care planning system, which enabled staff to log their work with residents directly on to a handheld device and gave all staff the information they needed to know about the residents at the point of care. Staff told us that this had greatly reduced the time spent on paperwork, which allowed them to spend more time with the residents. The system also enabled the manager to have an immediate overview of activities, audits and communications at any one time within the home.”
