The Active System provides you and your staff with facilitated input of a variety of common forms. These forms are presented on the screen as they appear on the printed page. Everyone relates to them immediately and can fill them out quickly.

Once the Staff is filling out their forms on the Active System, you will have an invaluable auditing tool. You will be able to instantly determine who has documented their work and who has not. Train your charge Nurses to run these reports on the screen and/or by print out before the end of each shift.

ADL Completion Report

The X's in the above report indicate that more than 9 holes occur in that particular day's ADL sheet for that particular resident. This is an actual report. Don't let this happen in your facility. Are you sure it is not happening already ?

Meal Consumption sheets can be part of the ADL Sheet, or a seperate sheet as shown in Figure 8. This form offers more emphasis and instruction to your staff

Figure 8. Individual Meal Consumption Sheet.

Individual Meal Consumption and Instruction Sheet

Meal Consumption is becoming one of the main records of resident care. You need to be absolutely sure that they are being filled out and that they are accurate. The best way to do this is to have them filled out on the Active System and then make the information available to ALL staff .

CNA Assignment Sheets Allow You to Assign and Keep Track of Who Does What, Who Did it When and When it Was or Was NOT Done.

The Active System has an Employee Schedule program, but this does not tell you who cared for which resident. The CNA Assignment Sheets will tell you this and will allow you to back track to any occurance or incident.

The Resident Album helps you to orient New CNA's and Nurses to their assignments.
