Once you know which items should be included in the Emergency Packet, it is necessary to verify that you have all of these items completed for all residents. If the item is not completed, it won't be included in the Emergency Packet.

Here are some ways to audit the completeness of items often included in the Emergency Packet:

• For Facesheets, go to All Residents and click the Print Facesheets button in the middle of the page to generate a document containing all resident Facesheets. This will allow you to review each of them to determine if you need add information to any resident's profile in order to complete all the sections on a resident's Facesheet. For more details about the ALIS Facesheet, read this article: Reading the ALIS-Generated Facesheet
• The Physician Orders and MAR documents contain information that comes from a resident's Manage Orders page and their med administration records in ALIS.
• For COVID-19 certificates, it is necessary to review the Immunizations and Tests section of the resident's profile. At the top left in the COVID-19 tab you can click +Add Vaccination to log the vaccine details. If there is already a certificate on file, you will see a blue "Vaccination Certificate" link below the vaccinations that were already logged. To add a Vaccine certificate, click Upload Certificate to the right of each vaccine record.
  • To look at this information for multiple residents at once, go to the COVID-19 Center, accessible from the home page in ALIS.

• For other documents in the Emergency Packet:
  • To look at the completeness of an item for a specific resident, scroll to the Compliance Details section of their Resident profile and verify if the item has the Completed status. If the item is not Completed, read this article for more information: Completing Compliance Items.
  • The easiest way to check for completion for multiple residents is to use the Resident Compliance Details Report.
    • You can filter the report for a the specific item or items you are auditing, and the table will show the completeness of each item for each resident.
    • If you need to make updates to any of the items (such as uploading an insurance card or filling out a form), you can click on the resident's name in the report and go to their Compliance Details section to complete the items you need.
