MediSked Connect: Tools for Communicating and Tracking
Here are some tools you can use on MediSked Connect to help adjust to the current circumstances of the pandemic.
Immunization Tracking Module (MediSked Connect)
The MediSked Connect platform has added a new module to easily record, track and report on immunizations, such as the vaccines approved for the COVID-19. The new, industry-leading capabilities will enable provider agencies to track dosage and other key information as the roll-out of COVID-19 immunizations continues in states across the country. Learn more here.
Agency Login Page Message (MediSked Connect)
MediSked Connect has an area below the login fields on the login page where a custom message can be added. This area supports HTML content, as well as external links. Contact Support to configure your agency’s homepage message with COVID-19 or other critical content.
Agency Whiteboard (MediSked Connect)
The Agency Whiteboard is an effective way to communicate with staff once they have logged into MediSked Connect. The Agency Whiteboard is on the Connect homepage and is configurable by users whose access level has the Whiteboard permission set to Yes. It supports rich text, allowing users with access to create content emphasizing important messages.
Observations Module (MediSked Connect)
Agencies can utilize Observations in MediSked Connect to help ensure staff are following important safety procedures for themselves and the individuals they are working with. Agencies can create pandemic-specific observations that record information for both staff and individuals.
Some sample questions that could be used in Observations to track staff health and safety include:
- Did you sanitize your hands upon arrival?
- What was your temperature when you clocked in?
- Do you have any of the following symptoms: Coughing, sore throat, difficulty breathing?
- How many times did you wash your hands during your shift?
- Have you had contact with anyone that has Covid-19 or is showing symptoms?
Reviewing Observation Reports regularly and taking action when staff report anything out of the ordinary will be a critical step in monitoring these observations.
Observations are reportable for users with the appropriate access. A downloadable guide to Observations is available here. If you have any issues setting up new Observations, contact Support.
MediSked is here to help you during this time. We want to thank you for all that you do to continue to support our communities during this unprecedented time.
