Care note summariser on a private model
Hypothetical. Not a client, not a result.
// The problem
A home care agency's supervisors read dozens of short notes a day, written in a hurry and often in a second language, to spot the clients who need a nurse's visit.
// What we would build
A tool that turns each caregiver's notes into a clear summary in the supervisor's language and flags notes that mention a fall, a missed meal or a change the care plan says to report, for a person to review. It runs on an open-source model in the agency's own cloud account, so client details never reach an outside provider, and it never suggests care.
// What is in it
- Clear summaries of each day's notes, in the supervisor's language
- Flags for what your care plans say to report, for a person to review
- Original notes always kept beside the summary
- No suggestions of care or diagnosis, ever
- Runs in your own cloud account
// Stack
