Care Planning
Effective case management is the cornerstone of client care. Through the use of the Care Planning module, care providers can design a consistent and purposeful strategy which acts as a case framework. This framework consolidates and coordinates care providers’ efforts to afford the best care for a client.
Care Plans are used to track a client’s progress throughout the history of a case. Each registration can have several Care Plan records attached, tracking the status of a client at different points in time. Care Plans can also be linked to Request and Diagnosis records; detailed information is only a click away.
The Care Plan can has a defined purpose and goal. The clinician responsible for the plan is documented and a team of care providers can be assigned to carry out the plan. Tests can be chosen from a facility-defined list and client scores recorded. Subtests and scores can also be recorded. Free-form fields, like Need/Problem and Note, allow clinicians to record additional information which may be pertinent to a Care Plan. At the completion of the plan, a final outcome can be recorded, as well as a date for a follow-up measurement.
Teams
Teams are combinations of care providers as defined by the facility. Teams are linked to a service type and can be assigned a default care provider and a manager. One or more teams can be specified for each registration, if appropriate. Review a client’s list of teams and sort by service type, team member, status or manager.

The EHR system helps us provide better care to what’s often an increasingly complex clientele, for the same money. -Ray Koop,
