ABC Chart
ABC Charts, “An Observation Tool”
Using the ABC chart tool within Care Vision enables staff to record information about a resident’s particular behaviour. This feature helps staff to understand resident’s behaviour in a proficient way.
Staff can create a detailed ABC form in no time at all, while keeping electronic records secure in our cloud-based software.
Three Distinct Sections
Care Vision provides three distinct sections to an ABC chart. Section A refers to ‘Antecedent’; section B is about ‘Behaviour’ and section C focuses on ‘Consequence’. All these sections have their own tiles so that relevant information can be added under each heading and nothing goes into the wrong section.
The process is self-explanatory, which helps staff record everything in the appropriate sections quickly and easily.
Easy to Use and Update
Our ABC chart is straightforward to use. Simply select different tiles according to the behaviour of the resident and the system will automatically generate detailed notes while maintaining a record of that particular person.
If a staff member needs to write custom text or add notes at a later date, they can do so.
