CareSafely

Running a Long-Term Care (LTC) organization – whether it’s nursing care, assisted living, memory care, or hospice – is an inherently risky proposition. As an operator, you are trusted with caring for residents and patients with complex and persistent medical, physical, and psychological conditions. Residents (current and future) and their families place their trust with your organization to have strong safety processes and systems in place. In their minds, safety is a “non-negotiable.” Food menus, building décor, amenities, and social activities are all second-order priorities compared to basic safety.

‍

Assess

CareSafely Assessments are based on the latest guidance from CDC, CMS, OSHA, and public health agencies. They are vetted by an industry advisory panel of experts to ensure “real-world” application. For example, our COVID-19 Risk Assessment for Skilled Nursing covers 79 different risk factors in eight categories. The assessments can also be easily edited and customized to your own unique needs.

‍

Act

Assessments identify open risks that need to be fixed (for example, a facility needs three weeks of PPE inventory, but only has enough for one week). Action Plans enable you to develop a thoughtful, actionable, and trackable response to address the risks.

Each action plan covers:

• What is the root cause of the risk?
• What are the steps to eliminate/mitigate the risk?
• Who is in charge of coordinating the steps?
• When will it get fixed by?
• What will it cost to fix (if applicable)?

‍

Audit

CareSafely pre-built Audits ensure your infection control, safety, and compliance program stays on track. Audits cover a wide range of areas including COVID-19 response, staff competency, and resident safety.

‍

Analyze

By digitizing all data at the source, CareSafely captures 100% of the infection control, safety, compliance, and QA data so in a just a few clicks, you can:

• Identify high-risk staff and facilities
• Conduct compliance/QA from Region/HQ
• Make fewer on-site audits/assessments
• Track all risk areas over time
• Benchmark facilities
• Track PPE levels for all facilities
