Care Management System · Digital Handover

The shift handover that composes itself — and gets signed

At shift end the system drafts a per-resident summary from the day's notes, concerns and observations. The outgoing carer reviews and signs; the incoming carer acknowledges. That signed chain is exactly the continuity-of-care evidence CQC looks for.

Two moments, one screen

Handover is two jobs in a single place — reading what the last shift left, and handing over what yours did — on a simple Incoming / Outgoing toggle.

Incoming — start of shift

Read a per-resident digest from the previous shift, see open concerns at a glance, and acknowledge each one. Flag anything for the manager that needs follow-up.

Outgoing — end of shift

Review an auto-composed summary for every resident in your caseload — including “all settled, no concerns” — edit anything, then sign off the whole batch in one confirmed action.

Incoming handover — read, acknowledge, flag
Outgoing handover — auto-composed drafts, edited per resident, signed in one batch

Drafted from the day, not from memory

Each outgoing summary is assembled from three streams: notes the carer ticked “add to handover”, every open concern from the shift, and the latest observations such as a NEWS2 capture or a soft-sign cluster. The carer edits the draft rather than starting from a blank box.

  • Every caseload resident appears — “all settled” is an explicit handover statement, not a silent gap.
  • A reviewed pip per card; sign-off warns (but never blocks) if any card is unread.
  • Edits autosave as you type; “reset to auto-compose” re-pulls the latest if a note arrives mid-shift.

Signed by the outgoing carer, countersigned by the incoming

A handover only counts as evidence if you can prove the information actually crossed the shift boundary. FlexiEle captures both halves: the outgoing carer signs off, the incoming carer acknowledges — each with a timestamp and an identity. Stale or missed handovers don’t just disappear; they surface to the manager for follow-up.

In practice
A night senior reviews 32 residents in 15 minutes: four unwell, two falls overnight, one needs a GP visit — each acknowledged, each signed.

No more deciphering a paper handover sheet or relying on a hurried verbal briefing. The full picture moves across the boundary, and the proof that it did is captured automatically.
