EXAMPLEHarry Smith is 6 years-old and came to school today with bruises on both arms. He is quiet and withdrawn. Harry lives with his mother Helen and his little sister Jenny (age 3). His teacher, Susan Ford, is concerned about him and calls her local Children’s Services to investigate.

Susan speaks with a member of the duty team who opens CareDirector and records the incoming phone call from Susan.

REFERRAL APPROVAL AND ALLOCATION

You can configure CareDirector so that this action automatically creates a referral and an initial assessment for Harry Smith.

Gerald Walker, the Manager of the duty team, is alerted by email that a new referral is awaiting allocation. He decides to allocate the referral to Jackie Ryan who will work with Harry to assess his needs and plan his support.

Jackie calls Harry’s family to arrange a home visit and records the appointment in CareDirector.

HARRY’S NEEDS

Jackie can synchronise CareDirector with Microsoft Outlook so the appointment appears in her Calendar.

To locate Harry’s home, Jackie uses the CareDirector virtual locator.

HARRY’S NEEDS

When she’s away from the office, Jackie has full access to CareDirector online and offline using Microsoft Outlook. If recorded offline, her notes will be synchronised with the main database when she next goes online.

HARRY’S NEEDS

The visit to Harry revealed that he got his bruises when he fell off his bicycle yesterday. However Harry’s mother is very stressed as she recently lost her job. Jackie is going to recommend providing some support to the family to help them at this time. She opens and completes an initial assessment.

HARRY’S NEEDS

To ensure assessments are completed within a locally-defined timeframe, CareDirector sets the “Due Date” automatically.

Jackie is going to recommend providing some support to the family to help them at this time. She opens and completes an initial assessment.

HARRY’S NEEDS

When the initial assessment is complete, an automated email is sent to Jackie’s Manager to authorise the closure of the assessment.

HARRY’S NEEDS

Once Jackie’s Manager has authorised the closure of the initial assessment, she creates a core assessment.

HARRY’S NEEDS

Using the CareDirector workflow engine, the core assessment can be autogenerated after the closure of the initial assessment.

Using the CareDirector single data entry facility, Jackie decides to pull forward the information that she previously recorded in the initial assessment.

HARRY’S NEEDS

Jackie can choose to print the core assessment in Microsoft Word.

HARRY’S NEEDS

In our example, an outcome from the core assessment is to provide Harry with respite care for a week to give the family a break. When the service is recorded in CareDirector, an automated task is created for Jackie’s Manager to authorise the service provision.
