CareTracker for Developmental Disabilities

Individualized program plans or service plans can be created for individuals so caregivers can document goals, and other information about the individuals throughout the shift. CareTracker guides the staff through what’s needed each shift so that everything is completed and documented according to the plan.

CareTracker is useful for:

• ICF/DD Providers
• Day Habilitation Environments
• Group Homes

CareTracker eliminates the undesirable effects of paper documentation systems by:

• Improving Accuracy
  Copying, missed entries, and misinformation are common issues with paper forms. Even when the paper forms are accurate, retrieving the information can be difficult. CareTracker makes it easy to record accurate and complete information to provide a much more precise picture of the individual’s status.
  
  
• Saving Time
  CareTracker allows providers to do their month end or quarterly summaries with the click of a button. Information is precalculated by the system and success rates are determined in a matter of seconds. CareTracker users can update individual programs proactively and assign a start date so that caregivers will automatically start the new programs at the right time without having to create paper forms that can quickly become outdated.
  
  
• Reducing Risk
  Nearly every survey involves an intense examination of supportive documentation. How well does your documentation withstand this scrutiny? CareTracker helps eliminate inconsistencies and incompliance, so documentation is complete and ready for examination at any time.
  
  
• Improving Quality of Care
  Dehydration, incidents, poor intake, weight loss, behaviors and other conditions are not always reported immediately. CareTracker can monitor these types of conditions and alert staff when problems arise. A full picture of any individual is available in one easy-to-read, concise report. CareTracker can trend, compare and analyze collected data to proactively find changes in individual conditions such as vitals, weights, falls and depression.
  
  
• Improving Communications
  Communication between front-line caregivers and other staff is critical for increasing the accuracy and reliability of information. CareTracker helps staff obtain real-time information regarding organizational functions and changes in conditions right from kiosks. Front-line caregivers can also alert other staff to changes in individual conditions that may require immediate attention.
