Care Plan

Touchscreen Care Plan

From the touchscreen, caregivers can utilize the Care Plan to Check In, Check Out, and track specific care tasks called "Services". The caregiver checks in and out using a Touchscreen PIN and has the ability to check off Services as they are performed. Services can only be checked off for the current day. Services can be required or optional, set for a specific time or floating, as well as be set to perform once only or performed multiple times.
