Please note: This feature is available to all packages.
Birdie’s Raise a Concern flow has been created to include an easy-to-use design which ensures you are capturing the critical information needed for high-quality reporting. You can document a concern via the Agency Hub, similar to how your care professionals raise a concern via their mobile app.
What kind of concerns can you raise?
Accident - an event that results in injury or ill health
Incident - an event not causing harm, but has the potential to cause injury or ill health
Skin integrity - The skin is damaged, vulnerable to injury or unable to heal normally. (e.g a pressure sore)
Medication - an event where the expected course of events in the support and/ or administration of medications is not followed
Other - any other event that will need to be recorded such as an issue with the house
How to raise a concern on the Agency hub
Start by going to the Inbox tab, Now click Add new + at the top of the screen. On the drop-down menu click Concern.
Depending on what kind of concern you have selected, you will be prompted to fill out information relevant to that type of concern. Some concerns require different or additional information.
Please note: Body maps are not available when raising a concern on the agency hub however you will be able to see body maps raised by Care Professionals if you have access to this feature.
