Picture Cards
Active System Picture Cards are designed to show the Resident's needs in pictures. This gives your staff the emphasis they need to improve tray accuracy, and it provides a foundation for creating a culture change within your facility. The icons show up automatically based on the Resident's diet order, adaptive equipment orders, likes, dislikes and the check marks on their admission screen. The picture of the resident is displayed first (if you choose to have the Resident picture on the tray card). You can also add your own pictures from anywhere on your computer. Pictures of the Resident's family members can serve as an incentive for the Resident to eat more, and can improve their dining experience.
Menu Selections are listed at the bottom of the card. No longer do you have to print select menus, distribute them, help the resident's select them, and then re-collect them. With Active System Picture Cards, you only have to go through the process once, and then quickly enter the Resident selections into the Picture Card program. The selections are saved and used over and over. The only time you will need to do anything else for the select menus, is when a Resident decides to change one or more of their selections. This reduces the processing labor to a bare minimum, while still offering all the benefits of a select menu. Once your Residents have selected the entire cycle of menus, you are done! The Active System does all the work for you from then on, forever and ever!
Note that the bottom of the card is printed with a HIPAA compliant label to allow the tray card to be folded over, leaving only the first name of the resident exposed during transport. The staff can still identify the tray with the first name and the first two characters of the last name. Upon delivery of the tray, the card can then be opened for full inspection of the name, diet order, pictures, likes, dislikes and special instructions.
Notice that the icons on the above tray card are twice the size, and the print size of the likes and dislikes is larger. The size of the images and print changes to maximize the use of space on the card without any text or pictures overlapping. Also, the Thanksgiving picture at the bottom is in normal picture format, rather than a watermark. If there are no special instructions for the bottom of the card, the picture does not have to be a watermark.
All the adjustments are done automatically!

Any Facility Form Can be Filled Out
By the Active System
This means that the Active System Staff can take any form you have and scan it into the Active System. Then,
a special program will be written to have the form filled out with information ALREADY IN THE ACTIVE SYSTEM.
A sample Resident Preference sheet is show below. Yes, the computer circled those items based on the checked Likes and Dislikes in the Resident's Admission screen.
The Active System has also solved the age old problem of computerizing a Quarterly Assessment Sheet that holds three to four seperate Quarterly Assessments on one page. The Active System takes a picture of the Quarterly Assessment form after each assessment, and then uses the picture of the form on the next assessment, so you have a sealed record of the previous assessment column
next to your current Assessment.

Then, of course, all of your assessments are available to you and the staff in the computer, as
