A handover note is a short message for the next shift about one resident. It is not a care note. You can type the note, say it, or do both.
Write a handover note
Tap the Residents tab, then tap the resident.
Tap the Handovers tab (1).
Tap Record handover (2). The recorder opens with New handover note at the top, and the recording starts.
Say the handover. Or, to type it, tap Pause, then type in the Written notes box (1).
Tap Finish (2).
On Finish this handover note?, tap Finish.
Wait for the Review handover note screen. It shows the note in one text box.
Read the text. Tap the text to change the words.
Tap Submit handover note.
What happens next
The app goes back to the resident page. Other carers who can see the resident see your note in Handovers, with the tag Written by a carer.
Your own note does not show in your Open list. Look for it in Acknowledged.
Notes
Write about one resident in each handover note.
To tell the next shift about a care note, you can also flag the care note. See Flag a care note for handover.
With no connection, Submit handover note keeps the note on the phone. It sends when the phone is online again.
