Electronic care planning systems FAQs
What is an electronic care plan?
Electronic care plans are electronic versions of an individual’s care plan, used to determine and structure how that person receives their care.
This information would otherwise be in a paper format, which lacks the automation, calculation and other time-saving or data-gathering benefits of electronic care plans.
Electronic care plans are sometimes used colloquially to refer to an overall electronic care planning system. Although they vary, electronic care planning systems would typically include digital versions of all the other documentation used in care, such as assessments, visit notes, complaints and feedback forms and so on.
What are the 5 main components of a care planning system?
Electronic care planning systems all vary, however, most will include these 5 main components:
- A mobile app for care workers and other staff
- Electronic forms, care plans, assessments and other files or documents
- A reporting/analytics module
- Activity recording (drinks, meals, mood, weight etc.)
- Automation of common care processes and alerts for incidents/concerns
- Some electronic care plans will also include, or integrate with an eMAR system. Particularly in domiciliary care, they will also incorporate or integrate with a scheduling system and have a call monitoring component.
What is electronic care planning?
Electronic care planning refers to the use of an electronic care planning system by a social care provider, to plan an individual’s care. It typically refers to the wider process of using a digital system to assess, plan, deliver, monitor and review the care an individual is given.
