Documentation & Charting

Documentation and charting are crucial components of the Welle System.

Staff are trained in Red Scale documentation so they can contribute to a safer and more responsive healthcare environment in three ways:

Safety From
Shift to Shift

Accurate assessment and documentation in Welle Common Language helps to ensure that each shift knows what situation it’s walking into, learns from the previous shift, and can provide continuity of care.

Visibility Of
Trends

Over time, accurate documentation generates the data from which trends can be observed. Problems can be identified and successes can be validated.

Saving
Time

Our structured documentation guidelines save time by unifying terminology and procedure. The consistency becomes habitual and the process gets easier.

Introducing our new Red Scale Documentation app!

Welle is the first behavioral safety system to offer full EMR integration, with tools to assess, document, and flag behavioral incidents. This includes answering simple questions to assess risk, and choosing from consistent, convenient terms to describe behaviors and document responses. Flags warn other team members and future shifts of the patient’s status. Over time, patterns can be analyzed for individual patients and entire units.

Tailored specifically for medical staff, this app simplifies the documentation process, ensuring that every incident is recorded accurately, consistently, and efficiently, allowing healthcare professionals to focus more on patient care and less on administrative tasks.

Key features include:

  • Customizable incident attributes for your hospital system’s unique needs
  • Secure access controls to protect patient confidentiality
  • Risk assessment and incident documentation
  • Robust reporting tools, enabling staff to analyze trends and improve behavioral health management
  • The app implements the Welle Red Behavior Scale, providing a common language that unifies staff across all departments and units within an organization. It helps you categorize specific behaviors observed on the floor, labeling levels of escalating behavior using standardized terms. This clear and consistent documentation eliminates misunderstandings and confusion when describing patient behavior.

This app integrates seamlessly into Epic and is designed to reinforce Welle behavioral safety training on the medical floor.
