Daily Forms

Daily Forms enable charting and viewing of daily resident data. Use of these electronic forms enables Reports, quality data and ACFI documentation to be generated within the program, negating the need for manual data collation.

 

Enter Details into Daily Forms

 

v  To access a resident’s Daily Forms, select Daily Forms from their Resident Page. A list of Daily Forms will display. Select the required Daily Form from the list.

 

 

v  Some Daily Forms include details linked from the relevant assessments above the chart. This provides a quick reference for staff, e.g. the resident’s bowel management plan.

 

 

v  You will be prompted to enter resident data for the daily form into the automatic pop-up window that appears. The date and time will auto-populate with the current date and time. You can change these if required. If you do not wish to enter data in at this time, press CANCEL and you will be taken straight to the chart.

 

 

v  Once all relevant data has been entered, select Save

 

v  The chart will display showing all entries made, listed with the most recent entry at the top.

 

v  Should you wish to make another entry, select Add New. The same pop up window will display, allowing you to enter resident data. For adding in back dated/ timed data ensure you select the correct date and time of the entry.

 

v  Click Save at the top right of the page and the chart will populate with the user’s details, including the time and date.

 

Notes:

 

·         Only information for the last 30 days will display in the chart. To access earlier records, see the Assessment Reports section of the User Manual or the How To Card View and Print a History of Assessment Changes.

 

·         Some Daily Forms will take longer to display/load than others. This will depend on the number of items in the form and the amount of linked data from other Assessments to the Daily Form.

 

·         The C/I field in the Bowel Chart (circled above) must be completed otherwise the Bowel Chart List report will not populate with the data entered.

Note:

A resident’s details will not save in the ‘bulk save’ if only the date is set for the resident’s entry. However, if the form being saved includes hours/minutes and a user does not wish a resident’s details to ‘save’ in the bulk save, they must ‘unselect’ the hr/min entry for that resident OR as no data has been selected for the resident, the user can ‘remove’ the resident from the view by selecting the ‘remove’ feature in the top right hand corner of the resident name/photo box. This will ensure they are not included in the ‘bulk save’
