Clinical governance software for nursing homes
Clinical risk lives in the detail — catheters, pressure ulcers, HbA1c, infections. ACT360 tracks it all and escalates automatically.
How ACT360 Transforms Compliance in Nursing Homes
Designed around the clinical risks, staffing dynamics, and regulatory scrutiny specific to your setting.
Skin Integrity & Pressure Ulcer Governance
Record pressure ulcer staging (Category 1–4, Unstageable, DTI), moisture lesions, and Waterlow scores. Log external Tissue Viability Nurse (TVN) appointments and airflow mattress checks directly within the incident record.
Catheter Surveillance & Replacement Tracking
High-risk tracking board recording insertion dates, planned change intervals, and drainage bag flush logs. Helps clinical leads spot early symptoms of catheter-associated UTIs before emergency escalation.
Diabetic HbA1c & Longitudinal Glucose Trends
Graph resident blood glucose readings and laboratory HbA1c results over time. Configurable red-zone thresholds highlight uncontrolled readings for prompt GP and diabetic nurse reviews.
Active Infection & Outbreak Surveillance
Monitor active infection cases (UTIs, chest infections, Norovirus) and barrier nursing precautions. The Outbreak Sentinel flags connected symptom clusters within 48 hours to trigger cohorting and UKHSA notification flows.
999 Emergency Calls & Hospital Admissions Board
Log ambulance call-outs, paramedic response times, hospital transfer reasons, and discharge notes in one place—giving clinical leads a clear audit trail of emergency escalations.
Verifiable Clinical Lessons Learned Bulletins
Turn medication errors and clinical incidents into structured learning bulletins (What Happened, Root Causes, Policy Updates). Email staff directly with digital read-receipt timestamps proving Regulation 17 compliance to CQC.
Inspection Pitfalls in Nursing Homes & How We Solve Them
Real-world CQC citations commonly issued in your care category and the automated safeguards built into ACT360.
Infection control & damaged facilities
CQC Domain: SafeTorn armchairs, chipped woodwork, broken call bells, ineffective outbreak containment
Inspectors regularly downgrade homes when equipment lacks servicing or surfaces cannot be sanitized. ACT360’s Facilities Hub tracks statutory LOLER, PAT, and fire safety inspections, while room repair requests capture photo evidence of damaged fixtures to ensure rapid maintenance.
Medicines management failures
CQC Domain: SafeMissed doses, gaps on MAR charts, poor audit oversight
ACT360 provides a specialized Medication Error workflow that guides staff through dosage checks, GP/pharmacy notifications, and root-cause analysis. Any failed question on a medicines audit instantly creates an assigned task in the Action Hub, proving to inspectors that medication errors are identified and addressed immediately.
Falls & unwitnessed accidents
CQC Domain: SafeRepeated falls without preventative intervention, poor post-fall monitoring, missing neuro obs
Inspectors frequently issue warnings when care homes fail to record neurological observations after unwitnessed falls. ACT360 embeds Glasgow Coma Scale tracking directly into the post-fall workflow and correlates fall trends to put preventative measures in place before repeat fractures occur.
Failure to learn from incidents
CQC Domain: Well-LedRepeat incidents occurring without changes to practice or staff communication
Inspectors frequently ask: "What did you learn from this incident, and how did you share it with staff?" ACT360 allows managers to turn incident investigations into learning bulletins with one click, emailing staff and tracking individual digital read receipts to prove to inspectors that learning was delivered.
Before vs. After ACT360
Moving your care service from reactive paperwork panic to proactive continuous governance.
- ✕Disconnected clinical sheets across nursing stations and binders
- ✕Delayed TVN referrals due to manual wound progression tracking
- ✕Infection outbreaks spreading across units before management notices
- ✕Clinical governance meetings requiring days of manual data aggregation
- ✓Centralised Clinical Trackers with real-time surveillance boards
- ✓Structured pressure ulcer staging with direct TVN referral records
- ✓Instant outbreak alarms firing across units within 48 hours of linked cases
- ✓Digital Lessons Learned bulletins with verifiable staff read-receipt timestamps
“We ran the Report Analyser on our last inspection and had a QIP for every finding before the team meeting. That used to take me a fortnight.”
