A quick guide to building team-specific guidelines—with support from us
Updated 1 week ago
🩺 Why this matters
Careteam is flexible by design—built to support person-centred, integrated care across many settings. Because every organization is different, we don’t offer out-of-the-box policies and procedures.
Instead, we help you co-design the right guidelines to match your workflows, roles, and goals.
Clear internal policies help:
Align team expectations
Make onboarding and training easier
Improve consistency in patient and family experience
Ensure safe, effective use of the platform
🚀 How to create policies and procedures for Careteam

What are you trying to improve or solve with Careteam? (e.g., smoother transitions, better family communication, fewer missed tasks)
Assign roles
Clarify who is responsible for what:
Who starts the Action Plan?
Who invites patients or families?
Who adds referrals or tracks check-ins?
Map your workflows
Outline how your team will use Careteam day-to-day:
When will updates happen?
What’s the escalation path for missed tasks or concerns?
How will staff hand off across shifts or settings?
