Electronic Care Records That Tell the Whole Story
Replace paper folders with digital care records — care plans, daily notes, medication, food and fluid, body maps and incidents — all captured at the point of care and instantly auditable.
One accurate record for every person you support
Paper care records are hard to read, easy to lose and impossible to monitor in real time. Electronic care records in Carionex bring everything about a person's care into one live digital record — the care plan, daily notes, medication administration, food and fluid intake, body maps and incidents — updated by carers at the point of care.
Because records are captured on the carer's phone during the visit, they're accurate, timestamped and attributed. Managers can review care as it happens, spot concerns early, and produce a complete, inspection-ready history for any client in seconds.
The problems this solves
- Illegible or missing paper notes
- No real-time visibility of what's happening during visits
- Records written up hours later, from memory
- Slow, painful evidence-gathering at inspection time

Frequently asked questions
What are electronic care records?+
Electronic care records are digital versions of a person's care plan, daily notes, medication records and observations. Carionex captures them at the point of care on the carer's phone, keeping them accurate, timestamped and instantly auditable.
How is this different from paper records?+
Digital records are legible, captured in real time during the visit, automatically attributed and timestamped, and can be reviewed by managers as care happens — none of which is possible with paper.
Can carers complete records offline?+
Yes. Records are captured offline on the app and sync automatically when a connection returns, so a poor signal never stops care being documented.
Do electronic care records help with CQC?+
Yes. Person-centred, versioned, auditable records are exactly what CQC expects, and Carionex can export a complete care-record pack for any client in one click.
What's included in a care record?+
The care plan across 20 care areas, daily notes, medication administration, food and fluid, repositioning, body maps and incident reports — a complete picture of each person's care.
Is the data secure?+
Yes. Records are protected with role-based access, encryption and full audit logging, and the system is designed to meet UK GDPR requirements.
Can I see who wrote each entry?+
Yes. Every entry is attributed to the carer who made it and timestamped, giving you a complete audit trail for accountability and inspection.
