Care Notes Online creates an online log of caregiver activities which can be shared with a
client’s family or with an insurance carrier. In addition to creating caregiver notes, Care Notes
Online integrates with Lifesaver App to create a complete medical record for a client. The home
healthcare agency has the choice between the Care Notes as a standalone or including the
online medical record through Lifesaver App. If the home healthcare agency chooses to create
a medical record through Lifesaver App, we suggest that you enter clients through the Care
Notes Online interface so that you establish a username and password. Once you have
established a username and password combination, medical record information can be entered
through Lifesaver App.
When you sign up for Care Notes Online, you are asked to provide the names of individuals that
you wish to have manager access to Care Notes Online. As part of the initial training and setup
fee, Care Notes Online will set up your agency and the managers/passwords that you
designate.
The shortcut to Care Notes Online is: https://lifesaverapps.com/carenotes/
The shortcut to Lifesaver App is: https://lifesaverapps.com/emronline
This shortcut can be installed to an unlimited number of computers/cell phones. When a cell
phone issues to access Care Notes Online, the software recognizes that the interface is being
accessed from a cell phone and will present a slightly different interface for data entry from cell
phones.
If you want to view the client logs from a cell phone, we suggest that you download the
Microsoft tag from this website onto your cell phone: http://gettag.mobi
1
Logging into Care Notes Online
1. There are two levels of access for Care Notes Online: manager and caregiver. With the manager
access, you can access all levels of Care Notes Online including adding clients and caregivers.
With caregiver access, a caregiver can only access the clients assigned to them and enter
encounter notes. They cannot access the other features of Care Notes Online. During initial
setup, at least one person from the home healthcare agency must be set up with manager
access.
2. When you click on the Care Notes Online shortcut, this login screen appears. Type the username
that you chose when you signed up for Care Notes Online.
3. Type the password that you assigned when you signed up for Care Notes Online. The password
will appear in encrypted format.
4. Click the Logon button or press Enter.
2
Clients Tab
1. When you login to Care Notes Online as a manager, you will immediately be taken to the Clients
tab on the menu. The list of clients assigned to your agency will appear. You have three choices
on the screen.
2. Client Info – pressing this button takes you to a screen where you can view/edit the demographic
information for this particular client, View Encounters or Create Encounter.
3. View Encounters – pressing this button takes you to a grid of all of the encounters that have been
recorded for this client. From this grid, you can edit or delete encounters that have been
recorded.
4. Create Encounter – from this screen, you can create an encounter for this particular client. When
it is saved, the managers login will be used as the caregiver name.
3
Client Info
1. From this screen, you can choose to edit the client information. This means that you will be
changing the demographic information. Once you have changed/edited any information, make
sure to hit Save.
2. From this screen, you may also choose to create an encounter for the client. When you click
Create Encounter, you will be taken to the encounter screen.
3. View Encounters – from the screen, you can view the grid of encounters (client history) and
choose to edit or remove any of them.
4
View Encounters
1. On this grid, a manager can view the encounters that have been recorded for a particular client.
2.
On the left side of the grid, there is the browse button. This button allows you to view the
encounter for a particular date.
3.
Next to the browse button is a pencil icon. When you click this icon, the encounter screen
will appear. You may edit/change any of the options on the encounter screen that have previously
been chosen. Be sure to save your changes.
4.
The trashcan icon allows you to delete a particular encounter. Be sure to use this icon
judiciously as encounters, once deleted, cannot be recalled.
5.
One of the most important parts of the Care Notes Online system is the ability to put in
notes aimed at either healthcare or caregiver-specific notes. This particular icon, a reverse ^,
allows you to view just the notes recorded with an encounter.
5
Clients Tab – Create Encounter
1.
When the list of clients is displayed, you can create an encounter for a particular client by clicking
on the Create Encounter button. When this encounter is created, it will be created with the name
of the person associated with the username. In other words, if a manager is logged in, the
encounter will be created with the manager’s information not a caregiver’s information.
2.
Remember, notes can be created either through using a computer with Internet access or
through accessing the website with a smart phone.
6
Create Encounter
1. Time card – Care Notes Online will automatically default the date to the system date. You do not
need to click in this box unless you want to back date and encounter. Click in the time-in box and
use the drop-down provided to record the time that you arrived at a client’s house. Once you have
a time recorded in the box, you may edit the time by clicking in the box. When you have finished,
Care Notes Online will calculate the hours worked.
2. Work your way through the boxes provided, clicking on the captioned button. This will fill the
check box with blue.
7
Create Encounter
1. Near the bottom of the screen, there is a section for Notes. We have divided the notes capability
into two parts, health notes and caregiver notes. From the perspective of the client’s family, this is
probably the most important part of Care Notes Online. In this section, you would want to record
any information about the patient's health such as the fact that the dentures are fitting
appropriately or that the client is complaining of back pain. In the caregiver notes, you might want
to record information about the clients mood/attitude, response to a new gift or a request by the
client. This is your opportunity to inform the family of the day-to-day functioning of the client.
Notes can be recorded by typing in the box or using DragonDictate to dictate a note. In addition,
if you have a Tablet PC, you can hand write a note which Care Notes Online will transcribe and
type into the box for you.
2. On the bottom of the screen, you can record information about transportation provided including
odometer readings and purpose of the trip.
8
Administrative Panel
1. Administration Panel tab allows you to insert information for the caregivers and for the clients.
You will be performing this function as part of your initial setup. Before you can record an
encounter note for a client, you have to enter the caregiver information, the client demographic
information and assign the caregiver to the client.
9
Manage Caregivers
1. Click Administration Panel tab.
2. Under Manage Caregivers category, click Create a New User button.
3. User name: the username should be a combination of letters and/or numbers with no spaces. For
example, your agency might want to decide that every caregiver will be listed with the first initial of
their first name and their entire last name. Joel Smith would be listed as jsmith; John Jones would be
listed as jjones. We strongly recommend that you use the same methodology for every caregiver.
4. First name: this is self-explanatory. Type the caregiver's first name.
5. Last name: this is self-explanatory. Type the caregiver's last name.
6. E-mail address: in phase 2 of Care Notes Online, we will include the ability for the client to e-mail
the caregiver and for the agency itself to send mass e-mails to the caregivers.
7. Account role: you must choose between two levels of access.
10
Caregiver: a caregiver can access the records assigned to them for their clients and enter encounter
notes. They cannot add or change information for their clients demographics or access clients that
are not assigned to them.
Manager: a manager can enter and edit client records. The manager can add and edit caregivers.
The manager can assign caregivers to clients.
8. Password: as with username, Care Notes Online suggests that you use a standard format for
creating passwords for both your caregivers and your clients. The passwords must be at least eight
characters/numbers. For your caregivers, you might want to use their entire birthdate such as
09081970 or you might want to use a combination of characters and numbers such as js090870 for
Jill Smith born on September 8, 1970. We suggest that you decide the way that you want to maintain
consistency prior to starting caregiver entry.
9. Click the Save icon.
11

entire medical record through the Lifesaver App program. With the username and pin number, a
client's family or a physician can access the caregiving notes in a report (read-only.)
4. Username: as with caregivers, we suggest that you use a consistent methodology to assign a
user name. You might use the first initial of their first name followed by their last name. Username
should be input without spaces. On the other hand, if you have an account number assigned to
your client, you might use the account number.
5. Password: the password is required to be eight characters or numbers. Some people use the
birthdate as the password. You can also use a combination of birth date and characters. If you

online medical record through LifeSaver App. A client’s family will require the username and
password to access LifeSaver App.
