The Resident Observations page provides a structured view of recorded physical observations for service users over time. It enables teams to monitor changes in weight, nutritional risk, and related indicators.
What's Improved
Centralised view of resident observation data across selected periods
Clear visual indicators for weight loss and nutritional risk
Flexible analysis by percentage or kilogram change
Direct access to related care notes and assessments
Why It Matters
Supports early detection of weight loss and nutritional decline
Helps teams respond proactively to emerging health risks
Provides clear evidence for audits, reviews, and inspections
Enables more informed clinical and care decisions
Where to Find Resident Observations
Screen 1: Resident Observations Entry Point
The Resident Observations page can be accessed from:
Analysis → Observations → Resident observations
Resident Observations - Deep Dive
The Resident Observations page displays recorded observation data based on the filters you apply. When first opened, the page loads in an initial state with no data shown until filters are selected.
Key capabilities include:
Viewing resident observations by month and year
Reviewing weight changes over time
Analysing data by percentage or kilogram change
Accessing detailed care notes linked to recorded observations
Initial State (Before Filters Are Applied)
Screen 2: Initial State for Resident Observations
When the Resident Observations page first loads:
The Filters section is displayed at the top of the page
No observation data is shown by default
An informational message prompts the user to apply filters
What this shows
A message indicating that no information is available until filters are applied.
Use this to:
Understand that filters are required to load results
Avoid reviewing incomplete or unintended data
Filters
Screen 3: Filters Section
The Filters section allows you to define which observation records are displayed.
Available filters include:
Month – select the reporting month
Year – select the reporting year
Service User – view observations for all service users or a specific individual
Analyse by – choose to analyse changes by percentage or kilograms
Show MUAC scores – optionally display MUAC measurements
Once filters are set, select Apply Filters to load the observations.
Use this to:
Focus on specific time periods or individuals
Compare weight changes using different analysis methods
Tailor the view to clinical or operational needs
Observation Table
Screen 4: Observation Table
Once filters are applied, observations are displayed in a structured table.
Each row represents a service user.
Each column represents a month within the selected period.
The table displays:
B.G. (Blood Glucose) - Records the most recent blood glucose reading.
INR - Displays the most recent International Normalised Ratio value, where recorded.
B.P. (Blood Pressure) - Shows the latest blood pressure reading.
B.O2 (Blood Oxygen Saturation) - Displays the most recent oxygen saturation level.
Resps (Respirations) - Records the most recent respiratory rate.
Pulse Shows the latest recorded heart rate.
Temp (Temperature) - Displays the most recent body temperature reading.
Height - Shows the recorded height of the service user, where available.
BMI (Body Mass Index) - Displays the calculated BMI based on recorded height and weight.
MUST - Shows the most recent Malnutrition Universal Screening Tool score.
Kg - Displays the most recent recorded weight for the selected month.
Visual alerts where thresholds are exceeded
If no data is available, the cell displays N/A.
Screen 5: When No Data is available for the cell (N/A)
What this shows
A longitudinal view of physical observations for each service user.
Use this to:
Track changes over time
Identify trends or sudden changes
Support clinical review and care planning
Weight Loss Indicators
Screen 6: Weight Loss Indicators
Weight loss indicators are displayed using visual alerts based on defined thresholds.
Examples include:
Over 5% weight loss over the past six months
1–5% weight loss within the defined period
3 kg or more loss compared to previous measurements
What this shows
Whether recorded weight changes exceed risk thresholds.
Use this to:
Identify residents at nutritional risk
Prioritise reviews and interventions
Support escalation and safeguarding actions
MUAC Measurements
Screen 7: When MUAC Enabled
When Show MUAC scores is enabled, additional columns display MUAC values in centimetres.
MUAC (Mid-Upper Arm Circumference) measures the circumference of the upper arm and supports nutritional assessment.
What this shows
Additional nutritional assessment data where recorded.
Use this to:
Support nutrition and malnutrition screening
Complement weight and BMI data
Identify residents requiring further assessment
Viewing Care Notes and Assessment
Screen 8: Viewing Care Notes and Assessment
Selecting a weight or MUST value opens the related care note or assessment.
Where available, selecting View redirects to the relevant MUST assessment.
What this shows
The underlying records that support the displayed observation data.
Use this to:
Review assessment context and history
Ensure observations are supported by documentation
Filtering by Service User
Screen 9: Filtering by Service User
When a specific service user is selected:
The table refreshes to show only observations for that individual
Observation history is limited to the selected resident
Use this to:
Focus on one resident’s observation history
Support targeted reviews and interventions
Reduce noise when managing larger datasets
Empty State (No Data Found)
Screen 10: Empty State Handling
When filters are applied and no matching observations are found:
The Filters section remains visible
No observation data is displayed
An informational message confirms that no results are available
What this shows
That no observations exist for the selected criteria.
Use this to:
Confirm that no data has been recorded
Adjust filters to broaden or refine results
Avoid assuming missing data
