Incident Management That Protects People and Evidence
Capture falls, incidents and safeguarding concerns from the carer's phone with body maps and photos, drive a clear review and follow-up workflow, and keep a complete audit trail for CQC.
Report, respond and evidence — properly
When something goes wrong — a fall, an injury, a safeguarding concern — how it's captured and followed up matters enormously, both for the person's safety and for your evidence. Paper incident forms are slow, easily lost and hard to act on. Carionex lets carers report incidents from their phone at the moment they happen.
Each incident captures the detail that matters — what happened, body maps and photos, severity, whether emergency services or family were involved — then drives a clear review, action and sign-off workflow. Managers get alerted immediately, and every step is recorded in a complete, inspection-ready audit trail.
The problems this solves
- Slow, paper-based incident reporting
- Incidents captured hours later, missing detail
- No clear review, action and sign-off process
- Safeguarding evidence hard to produce at inspection

Carers capture incidents on their phone with the structured detail CQC expects, right when they happen.

Safeguarding and escalation

- Family and emergency-services notification
- First-aid and outcome recording
Review, action and closure
