Clinical governance for care homes and nursing homes.
Falls, incidents, medication competency, handovers and policies in one place, with trends your registered manager can act on and reports that are ready when an inspector arrives.
Everything that needs your attention, on one screen.
Registered managers in care homes are pulled in every direction. Assure brings the governance picture together so the most important things are never buried.
- Needs your attention: red incidents, overdue actions, expired competencies, handovers not yet read, behaviour records to review and policies to sign.
- Incidents per week charted with the Making Data Count method, so you can see whether a rise in falls is real.
- Your language. Assure talks about residents, not service users or clients.
The dashboard, set up for a care home. Sample data from a fictional service.
Incidents filtered by resident, category, severity and status.
Falls, understood, not just counted.
Falls are the most common incident in most care homes. Assure asks the questions a good falls review needs, such as the type of fall and how it happened, and records injuries on a body map.
Trends by time of day, day of week and resident show where to focus, whether that is night staffing, a particular unit or one resident whose needs have changed. Medication errors capture the error type and medicine, and safeguarding concerns track the local authority referral.

Reports

Your evidence, set out the way inspectors think.
The inspection readiness summary brings together incidents, competency, policies, handovers and outcomes for any period, and sets them out against the five key questions: safe, effective, caring, responsive and well-led. Alongside each one, it lists the things to look at before anyone else does.

Common questions
Does Assure replace our electronic care planning system?
No. Assure sits alongside your care planning and eMAR systems and handles the governance they were not built for, such as incident review, competency and policy sign-off.
Does it work for nursing homes?
Yes. Nursing homes use the same features, with clinical tasks and competency sign-off particularly useful for nursing and care staff working to delegated tasks.
How long does it take to get started?
Every new customer gets hands-on onboarding, with set-up, data import and staff training included.
