Compliance is never far from the thoughts of any manager in the social care sector. And while you aspire to excellence, it’s always built on a foundation of sound practice and compliance.
Having the confidence that compliance is under control and there are no hidden demons brings the freedom to focus on improving care standards still further.
Staff skills, knowledge and certification are indispensable elements of compliance. Historically, they’ve also been an area where risks have been among the hardest to control. Fortunately, today’s care manager has digital tools available to make this aspect of compliance simple.
The CQC increasingly expects digital care records to be the norm. It seems a logical extension, therefore, to also manage the training that underpins care standards digitally.
Say Goodbye to Box Files
In the past, updating staff skills to maintain compliance would mean routinely and periodically leafing through files of paper training records to ensure everything was covered and there were no gaps in mandatory training.
If you were super-organised there would have been reminders in your diary to prompt you to arrange training courses and book time off for team members. Keeping all of that updated as staff left and joined your team, or as regulations changed, was another compliance-related headache.
Say Goodbye to Compliance Risk and Anxiety
By making your training management digital, much of the effort, inconvenience and anxiety associated with compliance disappear.
