Digital Care Planning Benefits Clinical Directors

With a registered nursing background, care home Clinical Directors play a key role in ensuring safety and compliance in the home. Other responsibilities include:

  • Staying informed about changes to clinical processes and priorities and introducing new protocols and standards across the organisation,
  • Leading on new care strategy initiatives such as the approach to dementia care,
  • Ensuring a robust Clinical Governance framework is in place for the Operations teams to follow,
  • Leading to the improvement of quality delivery, which can include reviewing existing approaches and making modifications, 
  • Ensuring that quality standards are maintained, has a team that audits the service and reports on findings,
  • Responsible for promoting and maintaining a strong person-centred culture, and
  • Providing monthly reports for the board to have oversight of care quality within the organisation.

KareInn offers an array of features to support care home Clinical Directors in their roles which include: 

  • A full suite of the latest research-backed assessments that are more robust than their current paper-based process,
  • Rules that will alert them early if there is an issue (policy settings and escalations),
  • Reminders for the operational team  not to miss anything that is essential and thereby improving resident outcomes  (nudges), 
  • Easy tools for front line staff to use,
  • Real-time trend dashboards to monitor performance,
  • The visibility that staff are performing their jobs on time and to the right standard (quality of posts),
  • Standard Operating Procedures available as workflows to ensure staff follow the correct protocol, and
  • Ability to see all homes performance without travelling to location – great for their audit team.
