Improve Senior Living Resident Care with the Latest Innovations in Charting Software


In today’s advanced technology environment, most people understand the advantages and efficiencies that can be gained by utilizing easy-to-use technology. The vast majority of the U.S. population has smart phones which are so intuitively designed, even toddlers can operate them. While the use of technology has become pervasive in acute care, adoption in the long-term post-acute care environment has lagged. In the past, care requirements for residents in Senior Living were straight- forward and documentation was simple. But as resident needs have increased, the need for more sophisticated charting has grown. While it makes sense to implement technology to meet these needs, Senior Living organizations


may be hesitant to introduce complex systems that take time to learn and use effectively. Some doubt the value that EHR systems can provide to the Senior Living environment. However, recent advances in charting software have been shown to improve resident care through interoperability and carefully designed user experience.


More Accurate, Consistent Documentation


Point-of-care software allows frontline caregivers to provide more accurate, first-hand accounts of resident events and services provided. Resident-centered data and preferences are at the caregiver’s fingertips, and ensure that they are aware of resident needs and conditions. In a paper-based world, behaviors, activities and events are often lost in the shuffle with the dots rarely connecting, whereas intuitive point-of-care software paints a vivid picture of a resident, highlighting negative behaviors against activity participation, boredom and other factors. The outcome is a more accurate understanding of the resident’s needs based on their routines, preferences and behaviors that can be deciphered by looking at trends in the data captured.
