The Care Task Manager allows nursing staff to create and manage care tasks that caregivers (CNAs) are responsible for completing for residents.
Care tasks represent specific actions caregivers need to perform, separate from standard ADL charting.
Jana includes a set of pre-configured care tasks, such as:
Applying bunny boots in the morning and evening
Applying CPAP at night and removing it in the morning
And more
In addition to these defaults, nurses can create custom care tasks to meet the specific needs of their facility or residents.
What can be configured for a care task?
When creating or managing a care task, nursing staff can customize:
Task title
Task description
Category where the task appears in the resident menu (such as Nutrition, Mobility, Walking, etc.)
Whether the task is required
Frequency at which the task must be completed
Why use the Care Task Manager?
The Care Task Manager gives nursing staff flexibility to:
Standardize common caregiver responsibilities
Reuse the same care tasks across multiple residents
Ensure required tasks are completed consistently and on schedule
Reduce reliance on free-text notes or informal reminders
This helps improve accountability, consistency of care, and visibility into caregiver task completion.
