CareLog holds the distinction of being
one of the very first
purely-internet-based residency
management systems – securely accessible
from anywhere, at any time, with
specialized user accounts for residents,
attendings, residency staff, and others.
CareLog’s first users, starting in 1998,
were Anesthesiology residency programs.
Initially, they used its highly
intuitive case logging and extensive
reporting capabilities to enable
residents to enter case records online,
allow departments to monitor residents’
progress against ACGME requirements,
compile and file detailed annual ACGME
training reports on all their residents
and the department.
CareLog Mobile for Palm Pilots and
PocketPC PDAs was added early on, with
the additional twist that data was
synch’d automatically over the internet
with the CareLog web site rather than
just stored on the resident’s PC.
Residents could capture cases on their
PDAs but the department always remained
in-the-know with the latest data uploads
to the web site (rather than waiting
until such time as the residents were
willing to re-enter PDA information into
their web accounts).
CareLog and CareLog Mobile have come a
long way from that initial Case Logging
start. Their capabilities have been
extensively enhanced to provide all the
modules and functionality residency
programs and Graduate Medical Education
(GME) offices need across all specialty
areas.
Main modules now include:
- Evaluations
- 360°,
rotation, automated OR-contact-based,
any others you need, extensively
configurable with custom workflows,
handling of completed evaluations, and
evaluation forms including Public
Library of Forms and your institution’s
own evaluation forms
- Educational Activities
– Scheduling of
grand rounds, conferences, lecture
series, etc. with capture of Attendance
including specifying mandatory
attendance, attachment of presentations,
articles, etc.
- CaseLog and ProcedureLog
– Ability to
capture case information for different
specialties, for example Anesthesiology,
to file ACGME reports, track competency
of residents, set and monitor progress
goals, fine-tune training activities
- Scheduling
– Rotation and OnCall
Scheduling and integration of these
capabilities with other modules like
Evaluations and Duty Hours
- Duty Hours
- Duty Hours tracking with
monthly surveys or individual activities
logging and associated reports.
- Department Directory
– Online and
printable directory of department names,
numbers etc.
- Resident and Attending Profiles
-
Detailed demographic,
educational/training background,
licenses, test scores, photograph, and
other needed information on residents
and attendings.
- Automated Alerts and Reminders
– for
evaluations, educational activities,
etc.
- Calendars
– My Calendar and Department
Calendar
- CareLog Mobile for Palm Pilots and
PocketPC PDAs
– PDA applications for
caselogs, duty hours, evaluations,
directory, others.
- GME/IRIS
– IRIS export and other GME
related needs
Technologically, CareLog and CareLog
Mobile have been continuously updated
and recast with the latest technologies
to keep them the most technologically
advanced residency training management
systems available. They build-in superb
ease-of-use and ease-of-configurability
while providing exceptional
functionality.
Any department or institution can start
using CareLog “out-of-the-box” with key
features already built-in and
configured. Yet the availability of
configurable options and forms is such
that CareLog modules can be tailored
just right (evaluation forms, evaluation
workflows, lectures and grand rounds,
reports, etc. etc.) to precisely fit the
needs and styles of a particular
department or institution.
CareLog users have access and privileges
personalized just for them. Residents,
fellows, chief residents, attendings,
residency education directors,
department chairs, residency
coordinators, GME staff, nursing staff,
even patients, are given access to
CareLog capabilities and information
commensurate with their roles – no more,
no less.
