Frequently Asked Questions
- What if I need to add a different type of intervention besides "Blood Pressure"?
You can select the specific intervention you need from the dropdown menu after clicking "Add New Item". There are various options available, such as "ADL", "Vitals", and other specific interventions, depending on your needs and the resident's care plan. - How do I edit or delete a task I've already created?
Once you've saved an intervention, you can edit or delete it by clicking on the three dots (...) next to the task and selecting the appropriate option. This allows you to make changes to the directions, frequency, end date, or remove the task altogether. - Can I add multiple tasks for the same resident at once?
Yes, you can add multiple tasks for a resident by repeating steps 4-9 for each intervention needed. Simply select the appropriate intervention type for each task and enter the relevant details. - What should I do if I encounter an error while saving the intervention?
If you encounter an error, double-check that you've filled out all the required fields correctly, including the directions, frequency number, and end date. If the issue persists, refresh the page and try again. If the problem continues, you can contact Curenta support for assistance. - Is there a way to view all the tasks I've created for a resident?
Yes, after selecting the resident from the dashboard, you can click on "ADL’s & Vitals" to access a list of all the tasks you've created for that specific resident. You can then view, edit, or delete tasks as needed. - How do I ensure the resident's ADL and vital measurements are recorded consistently?
To ensure consistency, set up a recurring schedule for the tasks by defining the frequency number and end date. This will create a daily reminder for the staff to perform the interventions. You can also use the hover feature to easily log readings at the appropriate time of day. - What happens if I forget to log a measurement at the scheduled time?
Don't worry! You can still log the measurement at a later time by hovering over the relevant hour on the dashboard. The system will automatically record the time of the measurement. - Can I edit or delete an existing ADL or vital task?
Yes, you can edit or delete any existing task by clicking on the three dots next to the task name. From there, you can modify the intervention, frequency, and end date or delete the task entirely. - What are the acceptable formats for entering vital readings?
For blood pressure, enter the reading in the format "130/90 mmHg". For other vitals, refer to the specific measurement units and formats required for that intervention.
