My Reflection on Digital Tools for Complex Care

Reflection Post:
Over this module, I have learned how different digital tools can work together to support residents with complex care needs like Sundowning behaviours.

In the Sundowning Behaviour Management segment, I practiced reviewing behavioural triggers and shared strategies with peers in the Wiki. This helped me think critically about calming interventions.

In Segment 2, I created an SBAR note using our secure communication tool and connected it back to the Sundowning plan. This showed me how clear, structured updates help the whole care team coordinate faster.

I also explored how digital calendars and reminders can prevent missed interventions by setting alarms for daily checks and calming activities.

Finally, I reviewed privacy and ethical considerations to ensure information is shared properly and respectfully within the team.

Overall, I feel more confident using communication tools, reminders, and structured notes to support safe and responsive care for residents with complex needs.

Key Tools I Used:

• Secure chat for SBAR

• Wiki for collaborative planning

• Digital calendar for scheduling

• Privacy guidelines to guide communication

How This Helps My Practice:
I now know how to use digital tools together to track behaviours, share updates, and prevent crises. This helps my team provide person-centered care for residents with dementia.
