Adding a calendar feature to each resident's profile in a care system would enhance the efficiency and personalization of resident care. This system would allow caregivers and administrators to better organize and track appointments, activities, and other scheduled events specific to individual residents.
Improved Organization:
A dedicated calendar for each resident ensures all scheduled events, such as doctor’s appointments, family visits, or medication reviews, are centralized and easily accessible.
Reduces the risk of missed appointments or conflicting schedules, providing peace of mind for staff and families.
Enhanced Communication:
Care staff can stay informed about each resident’s upcoming engagements, facilitating better handovers between shifts.
Families can be informed of upcoming appointments or changes to the schedule, improving trust and transparency.
Personalized Care:
Having a visual schedule helps tailor activities and plans to the resident’s preferences and needs, improving their quality of life.
Allows integration of individual therapy sessions, recreational activities, and wellness checks into their routine.
Basic Scheduling:
Add, edit, and delete events (e.g., doctor’s appointments, therapy sessions, family visits, personal milestones).
Color-coded categories to differentiate types of events (e.g., medical, recreational, family, etc.).
Recurring events for regular appointments (e.g., weekly physical therapy).
Notifications and Alerts:
Automated reminders for upcoming appointments sent to care staff and families via email or app notifications.
Alerts for potential scheduling conflicts to avoid double-booking.
Integration with Care Plans:
Link calendar events directly to the resident’s care plan, ensuring alignment with their health needs and preferences.
