Care Plans on Computer

Home

We used to run a 54-bed Nursing Home and developed Care Plans as well as software to run the rota.
Now we help Health Care establishments and businesses to set up efficient rotas and use Visual Rota software which was specifically designed for any type of rota, no matter how complicated, or simple, it might be.
It works extremely well with any number of internal staff, full-time and part-time, agency staff and bank staff, fixed and rotating rotas, holidays and absences. It works at The Royal Hospital Chelsea and it will work for you.

Care Plans & The Nursing Process - This is a 5 step process nurses use to help look after their patients. It's steps are very similar to the steps of the scientific process. It is usually a systematic, rational method of planning and providing nursing care.

1 - Assessing - collecting, verifying and organizing data about the patient.; data is obtained from reports, the patient.s chart and measurements, your assessment, observation, other healthcare personnel, interviews, etc

2 - Diagnosing / Analyzing - forming your nursing diagnoses; a nursing diagnosis is a statement of an actual or potential health problem

3 - Planning - formulate your "plan" to assist the patient involves formulating goals/expected outcomes, setting priorities, and identifying nursing interventions to help patients reach their goals

4 - Implementing / Intervention - put your Nursing Care Plan into action

5 - Evaluating - evaluate your interventions, reasses and analyze, etc

Tuition and examples in using Care Plans to look after patients is available from CDT

CDT produce a set of Care Plans to look after patients. These are word processor Document templates. As templates, they can be generated time and again for all your existing and new patients. The templates can be edited by you in your Home to suit your working practices. You can change the wording and the layout. You can add new lines of information. If the spaces to input information are too small, then simply increase the size of the space. These templates work just like any other word processor document so you can fully customise them. Once you have the document templates on your computer, you can print off as many copies as you like for your Home or hospital (we only ask that you leave our copyright on each document). We will supply you with these templates on disk or through email as an attached file. The price for the CDT Care Plans on disk or email is £50. We can also supply you with pre-printed 40 page booklets of the Care Plans for £9.50 each (min order 20) with your name on the pages.

There are 18 Separate Care Plan Pages.
