The Check-in block is designed to inform you about how the Person is doing before, after, or between visits. It provides an easy way for both the Person and their Support Team to share updates with the Health Team, helping everyone stay connected throughout the care journey.

The Check-in block highlights a specific Check-in from the Things to do block. Recent results from the selected Check-in are featured directly on the Action Plan dashboard, making it easy to access and prioritize Check-ins that are essential to the Person’s care. Whether the Check-in is a central part of the Action Plan or is being used privately by health care providers, it’s always visible, making it simple to complete and review past results. This helps ensure that everyone remains informed and can take timely action.

To complete a Check-in:

  1. Click the +Add button in the Check-in block.
  2. In the pop-up modal, answer the Check-in questions.
  3. Click to view results and see past history of Check-in answers  

Key capabilities:

  • Monitor the Person's well-being with short, focused questions, giving you a clear snapshot of how the Person is doing.
  • Inspire proactive care by helping identify issues early. By keeping the Person and their Support Team involved, you inspire a sense of shared responsibility in the care process.
  • Stay connected with the Person, even between visits, ensuring that the care team can make timely adjustments based on the latest information.

Cool things to know:

  • Check-ins can be configured for the Health Team to answer, which is viewable only by the Health Team. For example, in an integrated palliative care program, the Health Team created a Check-in visible only to themselves to keep everyone updated on the latest Palliative Performance Scale (PPS).
  • How Check-ins differ from Forms:
    • Check-ins: designed to be short and focused, often used for quick updates (e.g., pain level, mood). They’re typically faster to complete and require less detailed input than forms.
    • Forms: More comprehensive, used for gathering detailed information such as intake assessments or post-visit follow-ups. Forms usually take more time and cover more ground than Check-ins.
  • Check-in formats include:
    • 5-point pain scale
    • Generic scale (1-5, 1-10, or 0-10)
    • Numeric input
    • Yes/No questions
    • Mood scale (1-10)
    • Multiple choice
    • Free text

By using the Check-in block, you can easily monitor progress, respond proactively, and stay connected with the Person’s ongoing care.
