Care Plan Review Reminders

Q: Can the automation handle different reminder schedules for different residents?

Yes. The automation reads each resident's review due date from the care plan database and sends reminders based on individual schedules, accommodating varying care needs and review frequencies.

Q: How does the automation know which clinician to send a reminder to?

The automation looks up the assigned clinician or care manager from the care plan database for each resident and sends the reminder to that person automatically.

Q: Will the automation work with our existing care plan tracking system?

The automation integrates with spreadsheets, Airtable, and other common care plan databases. Your team will confirm the connection during setup to ensure data flows correctly.

Q: What audit information does the automation record?

The automation logs the date, time, recipient, and content of every reminder sent, plus any follow-up actions, creating a complete compliance-ready audit trail without manual effort.

About This Automation

Care plan reviews are a compliance requirement in aged care, but manually tracking due dates and sending reminders across a spreadsheet is time-consuming and error-prone. Staff spend hours each week scanning for upcoming reviews, composing individual reminder emails, and chasing overdue items.

Automation monitors the care plan database continuously, identifies reviews due within 14 days or already overdue, and sends personalized reminders to clinicians automatically. All actions are logged for audit compliance, and the process runs without manual intervention.

Key features:

Monitor care plan review dates daily and flag upcoming or overdue reviews automatically

Send personalized reminder emails to assigned clinicians with resident details and due dates

Escalate overdue reviews with follow-up notifications to ensure timely completion

Log all reminders and actions in an audit trail for compliance documentation

Update care plan status records when reviews are completed

How The Automation Works

The full workflow, from trigger to completion.

1. Daily Check for Due Reviewstrigger

The automation runs daily and checks the care plan tracking database for any reviews that fall within the reminder window (14 days before due date) or are already overdue.

2. Fetch Resident and Clinician Data

The automation retrieves the resident name, review due date, assigned clinician, and clinician email address from the care management system or tracking spreadsheet.

3. Generate Reminder Email

The automation creates a personalised reminder email with the resident's name, review due date, and a standard message template, ready to send.

4. Send Reminder via Email

The automation sends the reminder email to the assigned clinician or the facility email service.

5. Log Reminder in Tracking System

The automation records the reminder sent (date, time, recipient, resident) in the care plan tracking spreadsheet or database for audit purposes.

6. Post Notification

The automation sends a summary notification to a designated channel (e.g. #care-compliance) listing all reminders sent that day and any overdue reviews requiring escalation.
