Features

One platform for every care home workflow

From admission to discharge, Tessera covers the clinical and operational work of running a residential care home — resident records, assessments, medication, incidents, staffing and compliance — all sharing one audit trail and one set of permissions.

HIPAA-aligned · Audit-grade logging · Built around your workflows

Resident records

A complete, auditable profile for every resident

Everything a care team needs about a resident in one place — from admission to discharge — with the safety flags an inspector expects surfaced front and center.

  • Demographics, room assignment, and admission / discharge dates
  • Allergies with prominent alert flags that follow the resident everywhere
  • Emergency contacts, next-of-kin, GP and specialist clinicians
  • Funding source — private, Medicaid or insurance
  • Advance directives, including a DNR flag and uploaded documents
  • A resident timeline that stitches the whole record together

Care planning & assessments

Assessments that score themselves, plans that stay current

A JSON-schema assessment engine renders and scores any standardized tool, and person-centered care plans turn those scores into goals, interventions and outcomes.

  • Barthel Index, Morse Falls Scale and MUST built in, with live scoring
  • Person-centered care plans with goals, interventions and outcomes
  • Point-in-time version history — see exactly what changed and when
  • Scheduled reviews with due-date tracking and overdue badges
  • Approval and sign-off workflow before a plan goes live

Medication & eMAR

Safer medication rounds, captured to the minute

Build administration rounds, work them on a phone at the bedside, and record exactly what happened — with allergy and interaction checks running in the background.

  • Per-resident medication list with allergy and interaction checks
  • Scheduled administration rounds that show who is due, now
  • Mark administered, refused or omitted with structured reason codes
  • Controlled-drug register with a dual-witness signature flow
  • A full medication audit trail, ready for any survey

Incidents & safeguarding

File it once, and never miss a reporting deadline

Configurable incident templates capture the detail, and Tessera computes the regulatory clock for you — in the facility’s own timezone — so nothing slips.

  • Configurable templates: falls, injuries, med errors, safeguarding, near-miss and more
  • Body-map injury tool to mark anterior / posterior injury locations
  • Elder Justice Act / 42 CFR §483.12 deadlines — 2h serious, 24h otherwise
  • Review and closure workflow with manager sign-off and corrective actions
  • State-ready PDF export with a per-state mapping layer, plus a trend dashboard

Staff & compliance

Every credential tracked, every expiry caught early

A unified credential engine treats licenses, training and screening as first-class records — so you always know who is cleared to work and what is about to lapse.

  • Employment profiles: job title, department, employment type and status
  • Licenses (RN / LPN / CNA), mandatory training, and TB / health checks
  • Criminal background, OIG / SAM exclusion and state registry screening
  • I-9 / work-authorization document storage with expiry alerts
  • Supervision and appraisal records, plus a live compliance dashboard

Rota & attendance

Build the week, watch the floor, run the timesheet

Plan the rota from reusable shift templates, get warned the moment a shift is understaffed, and let staff clock themselves in from their own phone.

  • Shift templates and a click-to-assign weekly rota builder
  • Minimum-staffing warnings that advise without ever blocking you
  • Leave and sickness tracking shown right on the rota grid
  • Self clock-in / clock-out with live elapsed time on a phone-first view
  • Per-staff timesheets — scheduled vs worked — exported as CSV

Shared across every module

The foundations under all of it

Every workflow above is built on the same compliance and access foundations — so the evidence an inspector asks for is produced as your team works, not reconstructed the night before a survey.

Audit-grade logging

Every create, update and delete on a clinical record is written to a separate, append-only audit database — an immutable trail by design.

Role-based access

Six roles — care assistant, senior carer, nurse, manager, admin and family — gate what each person can see and do, enforced on the server.

Multi-facility ready

Run a single home or a whole group. Access is scoped to the facilities a user belongs to, so staff only ever see their own residents.
