Cohort
For Oregon care homes · runs on the house phone

Run every shift, in every house.

Daily operations for care homes. Your staff run the whole shift from the house phone: medications, care notes, incidents, tasks and the handoff. One record, stamped and never deleted.

It is 06:55 in Oregon. Day shift.

Works when the wifi drops. Every entry stamped with who and when.

The first screen after sign-in: what is due, what is documented, what is waiting on a decision.

The other end of the shift, composed from the day rather than typed from memory.

The shift, hour by hour.

What a caregiver does with Cohort between signing in and signing out.

  1. On the house phone, or switch who is acting on a device already signed in.

  2. What the night shift left, as counts. Reading it records a receipt.

  3. Six Rights, the allergy check, the timing check, signed. The only two stops in the product are here.

    Tap a due row on the phone. Loratadine raises the allergy stop and asks for a reason.

  4. Every entry stamped with who and when. No signal? It queues and catches up.

    0 in the outbox
    1. Filed from where she is, with the immediate action. Managers are told by house code, nothing more.

    2. The sheet composes itself from the day. She adds one passage and posts.

      Watch the phone: the sheet fills itself as this step comes into view.

    3. Or the next caregiver switches in with her own code. Everything from the shift stays, attributed, for ever.

    Inform, don’t police

    Two stops. Nothing else.

    Both because the harm is physical. Everything else informs and steps aside.

    Going on means typing a reason. It is recorded on the dose, the manager is told, and the pass continues. No countdown timers, no third stop.

    The record

    Nothing is deleted. Nothing leaves.

    Every write is stamped and kept. A correction is a new line under the old one.

    Paper, then the record — slide the handle
    Vitamin D 1000 IU06:00 windowLogged by A. Tesfaye · 06:04Given

    Left, a hand-written MAR line. Right, the same dose in Cohort: a state word and a stamp.

    Append-only

    Every entry is stamped with who and when. A correction goes under the original. A dose cannot be un-given.

    Audited

    Every change, print, export and support session writes a row. The log outlives the account.

    What a push says

    WH-1: 4 medications due

    A house code and a count. Never a name. The set of messages is closed, so nothing can invent one.

    Corrections

    A correction goes under the original.

    Nothing is edited, struck through or removed. The record only grows.

    The original

    Resident declined the 08:00 dose; offered again at 08:40.

    The addendum

    Correction: the second offer was at 09:10, not 08:40.

    Logged by A. Tesfaye · 09:20

    There is no third row. The original stays exactly as it was written.

    The questions we get.

    Will it stop my caregiver mid-shift?

    Twice, ever: a medication that matches a recorded allergy, and an as-needed dose given too soon. Everything else informs and steps aside. There are no countdown timers.

    The wifi in my house is bad.

    Doses, notes, tasks and incident drafts queue on the phone and catch up when the signal returns. Nothing is lost and nothing is recorded twice.

    Can I take my data out?

    Yes, at any time, without asking anyone. The export is a ZIP you can read without Cohort. A cancelled account can still sign in to export.

    How is this different from Therap?

    Therap and the other large systems are built for agencies with a compliance department. Cohort is built for a house: it runs on the phone your staff already carry, sets up in an afternoon, and is priced per house.

    Is it an electronic health record?

    No. It runs the shift: medications, notes, incidents, tasks and the handoff. It does not author care plans or bill the state.

    Still a question?

    Ask a person.

    No sales team. The person who built it answers.
