Add or choose a resident
Start from the hall board and pick the resident you are documenting for the current shift.
A workflow CNAs can understand in minutes.
The workflow is intentionally simple: choose the resident, capture the shift details, review smart suggestions if you use them, and save a clear final note.
Step-by-step
Enter structured observations
Use dedicated sections for showers, bowel movements, refusals, behaviors, sleep or wake checks, catheter output, and observations.
Speak or type extra details
Optional dictation lets you capture details after leaving the room. You can also type directly if that is faster.
Review smart suggestions
Optional note assistance can help organize details faster, but you stay in control of the final saved note.
What happens next
- You review the suggested structured values before keeping them.
- You edit the narrative note if needed.
- You save the final report locally on-device.
- You can continue documenting manually whenever you prefer.
CareNote CNA never takes the final chart away from the caregiver. Review happens before save, not after.
Why this workflow works
CareNote CNA is built to reduce end-of-shift friction without making documentation harder to trust.
- Structured sections help keep resident care details easier to review later.
- Optional voice capture helps you save time when typing every detail is slower.
- Editable note suggestions help speed up charting without skipping caregiver review.
- A final review step helps you save a cleaner, more consistent report.
