Shift screen

My shift is the first screen of the WideCare app. It answers the question of the start of a shift: where things stand, and what comes next.

The shift screen on the phone: the cards, presence, movements, the day's cares by period and the next items

Cards

The cards depend on what your account does in the house. Tap a card to open the list it counts.

For the care staff:

  • My cares — the cares assigned to you today.

  • Doses due — the doses still to give on the round. The card turns red when doses were missed, and says how many.

  • Missed cares — the cares still owed: today’s misses, and the cares of an earlier day still owed because of their rhythm (a weekly bath, for example). The line under the figure says which: all from today, 3 today, the rest behind, or still owed from an earlier day.

For everyone who carries out the house’s tasks:

  • Tasks — the house’s tasks still open, and how many are assigned to you.

When your account works on them, the screen also shows:

  • the meal in progress — the couverts still to serve, then, after the meal, Amounts to note. See Meals;

  • Hydration — the residents without a drink today. See Hydration;

  • To prepare and To clean — the rooms to get ready before an arrival and to clean after a departure. See Rooms.

In Belgium

A house with a day care centre also gets an Attendance card: the day care users expected and not ticked in yet. See Recording attendance.

Card colours

  • Red — something was let slip: doses or cares missed. To handle now.

  • Warm — work is waiting.

  • Calm — nothing is waiting.

Until the shift is read, a card shows a dash instead of a figure: the app never states a zero it has not checked.

Presence and movements

  • Presence — residents in the house, residents away (hospital, holiday, family: one figure for every absence), and residents back today. A house with a day centre also counts the people at the day centre.

  • Movements — the day’s admissions, the residents admitted in the last 7 days, the day’s departures, and the residents deceased this week.

Every figure opens the list of the residents it counts. A button above the list reminds which figure you came from; tap its cross to see everyone again.

Today’s care

One bar per period of the day — morning, noon, afternoon, evening, night — shows the cares done out of the cares planned. A red number marks the missed cares of the period. Every period is shown, an empty one too.

Tap a bar to open the cares of the day: the missed ones first, else what is still to do, else what was done.

Next

The next cares and doses, in time order, with the resident and the room. A care that is part of a sequence for the same resident shows its rank. Tap a line to open the resident’s sheet.

When nothing is waiting, the screen says so: Nothing is waiting. The shift is up to date. When a team is chosen, it says the message concerns that team only.

The foot of the screen gives the number of residents of the sector and the date.
