Charge Nurse, Care Lead
8 min

Review a resident risk signal

A signal accepted, dismissed, or escalated with a written reason in the audit trail.

Before you start

  • Care Lead role or higher
  • At least one open resident signal

Steps

  1. 1

    Open the resident from Morning Row

    The Morning Row card links straight to the resident's Risk view with the relevant signal expanded.

  2. 2

    Read the source trail

    The trail lists every signal, assessment, and import event that influenced the current risk level. Read this before deciding — it's the model's evidence.

  3. 3

    Check confidence and review status

    Low confidence means the model is leaning on thin signals. That's a cue to gather more information before escalating, not to ignore the card.

  4. 4

    Choose accept, dismiss, or escalate

    Accept logs the recommendation. Dismiss closes it (with a reason). Escalate creates a follow-up task on the resident and notifies high-risk subscribers.

Common pitfalls

  • Dismissing without a reason is allowed but discouraged — the survey trail will show empty rationale.
  • Escalation does not page on-call by itself; configure that in notification thresholds.
