Schedule 2 - Documentation

Pro and Outstanding Plans

Encryption

Data is encrypted to at least the AES-256 bit standard when stored on a device using the App and on the cloud-based database and Transport Layer Security (TLS) when in-flight.

Secure login

Each Authorised User can set their own pin for accessing the App and where granted access, a password for accessing the web portal. Pins and passwords can are set and reset by email. Authorised Users’ access can be paused, changed or removed by an admin-level Authorised User.  

Device Access Control

Your organisation can enrol mobile devices into the software so that only those permitted mobile devices can access your data through the mobile App.

MFA and other authentication enhancements

When MFA or any other authentication enhancements are developed by LMC, they will be made available to you.

Daily logs

The ability to record regular logs regarding the care and support given to Active Residents. The logs form a time-stamped timeline of activity on an Active Resident by Active Resident basis. The author of each log is the signed-in Authorised User who created the log. The content of daily logs can be edited by admin-level Authorised Users but a full revision history is maintained. GPS location of each log can optionally be recorded.

Active Resident charts

A subset of the daily log data flows automatically into visualised graphs and charts for trend analysis e.g. weight recordings.

Task management

One-off or recurring tasks can be scheduled to be performed for particular Active Residents or by a certain Authorised User.

Active Resident document storage

Word, PDF and Image files can be uploaded to an Active Resident’s profile and can be viewed by Authorised Users.

Offline mode

Daily logs can be created and task status updated without an internet connection for a period of time using the iOS and Android App. The logs are temporarily stored on the mobile device in an encrypted state before syncing to the cloud once an internet connection is restored and the App unlocked.

Incident push notifications

When an incident is recorded by an Authorised User, all online devices of that site will receive a near-instant push notification of the incident log.

Handover tool

Using the App, Authorised Users can flag daily logs to flow into a current handover report. Authorised Users are able to finalise the report in a two-person validation process and the report is then accessible to be read in the historical handovers.

Log photos and videos

Photos or videos may be attached to daily logs through the App. The original media is deleted from the mobile device after sending to the cloud.

Zoning feature

Active Residents can be grouped together into zones (e.g. by floor) and Authorised Users are able to choose which zone they would like to see data for, decluttering the App.

Home-level document storage

Documents (e.g. policies and procedures) can be uploaded for each site, with Authorised Users able to read them through the App.

Active Resident profile fields

Ability to store Active Resident data such as allergies, current medications, medical history and contact details for health professionals or family.

About me

The About Me section has been developed based on the PRSB standards and NHS Assured Supplier criteria.

Initial assessment form

Authorised Users can complete an initial assessment form, designed to help gather the care requirements of a prospective Active Resident. When the form is finalised, answers from the form flow into the Active Resident’s care plan.

Care plans

The system contains a number of care plans sections by default for each Active Resident, each with space for outcomes, strengths, needs, associated risk assessments and actions. Authorised Users can edit answers, schedule next reviews and view historical versions. Care Plans can be e-signed.

Risk assessment forms

Risk assessments can be attached to care plan sections or completed separately. The system contains a library of assessment forms, most of which contain some form of risk score calculation. Authorised Users can also complete generic risk assessments for topics not covered by the library forms.

Consent Management

Consent templates are available in a library and can be edited to suit the service. Consent forms for each Active Resident can be used to gather and manage consent on a range of topics.

Hospital Passport export

With one click, Authorised Users can export a PDF document from the system summarising the common detail that a hospital might need to know.

Resident data archiving

When a resident leaves the service, their status can be changed from Active. In other status modes (e.g. deceased, discharged), no data is deleted but Authorised Users without higher access levels will cease to be able to access the data.

Active Resident data deletion

An Active Resident’s data can be completely deleted by admin-level Authorised Users. As per GDPR requirements, data is not easily recoverable once deleted and additional fees may apply to recover accidentally deleted data from historical backups.

PDF export

Active Resident daily logs and Active Resident charts can be exported with one-click in PDF format.

CSV export

Daily log data can be bulk exported as a CSV file. Size limits may apply on each export.

Noticeboard

Admin-level Authorised Users can publish a notice from the Care Office which appears in the mobile Apps of all staff belonging to that site.

Outstanding plan only

Outcomes & Goals

A comprehensive feature set allowing Authorised Users to record desired outcomes for Active Residents and the steps required to meet those goals. Daily logs and care plans can be linked to specific goals so that progress against the goal can be easily evidenced.

Head Office dashboard

Access for head office staff or regional managers to a separate dashboard to view performance and compliance statistics of different sites.

Site switching

Authorised Users can be granted access to multiple sites and are then able to switch their account between sites from the mobile App or web portal.

PBS plans

Dedicated Positive Behaviour Support plans.

Supported Person Involvement

Features to allow supported people to write logs from their own perspective and to sign their own support plans, consent forms and goals from the mobile App.

Family plan

Family App

Admin-level Authorised Users can optionally invite Family members of Active Residents to be able to view certain information of their loved one through the Family App. This can include daily logs, care plans, risk assessments and other uploaded documents. Through the Preferences section of each Site, your Organisation can control what information gets shared with Family members.

Rostering

Rostering

Your organisation (where rostering is chosen as an add-on) is granted the ability to develop or deploy any application or functionality that makes use of the Google Maps API(s) (including but not limited to a Distance Matrix API) to support carers in tracking locations to organise their rosters.
