Carer review types

You are able to schedule and keep track of any reviews conducted for your carers in the CareLineLive web environment. Before you begin to start scheduling reviews, head to Settings → Reviews → Carer Review Types

Here, you can add, amend or remove review categories to suit the needs of your agency. To add a category; click on the + icon in the top right hand corner and enter the review name.

Carer review outcomes

In Carers → Review outcomes there are three default outcomes:

  • Pass

  • Fail

  • Retraining required

Click the + button to create any new review outcomes, as with clients, only the name is required.

Deleting and archiving outcomes

For both carers and clients, on the right hand side of a review outcome, you will see the ⋮ icon. Click on this and you will be presented with two options:

  • Archive - Used when an outcome is being retired from use, but has already been used for past reviews

  • Delete - Deletes the status outright

Scheduling a review

Head to a carer's record and into their reviews tab, to see a carer's reviews page. From here, you can schedule reviews, add in previous completed reviews and update the review statuses. Click on the + icon to add in a review.

On this form, you can add:

  • Due date - This can be set in the past for a previous review that is being added to the system, on the same day, or in the future to schedule a review.

  • Review type - This is chosen from the types entered in the carer review types page mentioned above.

  • Notes - Any notes that you may wish to enter for clarification or otherwise.

Booking in a review

When you go to edit a review, you will see the option to book in a review. This allows you to set the date that the review is happening. When you add the completion to the review, this date will be pre-populated with this information, you will still need to enter the time.

ℹ️ This will not create a booking for the carer, this is purely a way of managing the date of the review if it differs from the due date.

Adding an outcome

Once the review has taken place, you can add in the review outcome, there are default options, but the list is amendable. You can also enter:

  • Time and date of when the review was conducted.

  • Who it was conducted by.

  • Any comments necessary.

Upon completion, you can choose to either Save, or Save & Schedule Next Review. This automatically brings up the review schedule menu and saves having to save one and open the next.

Where are you alerted?

On your Dashboard you will notice different tabs, Today, This week etc. Within those tabs is an expiration section where you will be alerted of any reviews that are expiring, click on the entry and it will take you to the Carer Review report within the Reports section.

Who can see this information?

Similarly to Journals, this information is available to anyone whose user role has been set to allow them to do so.

To find out which user roles have been granted access, go to Accounts > User roles and select the user roles you wish to view.
