Operational Efficiencies   

Does Your Assisted Living Residence Apply a Disciplined Approach to Managing Risk and Developing Operational Efficiencies?

Briggs Assisted Living Documentation System and Operational Guidelines are key to implementing a disciplined approach to managing risk and providing superior
quality care.

The efficient and comprehensive approach found in the Assisted Living Documentation System will help you avoid potential litigation situations, increase your census and improve your profitability. Plus, it will help you record and accommodate the changing needs of your residents.

Included in the documentation system are instructions on forms for:
  • Risk/litigation management
  • Lifestyle preferences and choices
  • Medication and treatment records
  • Move-in documents and more!
The companion manual, the Assisted Living Operational Guidelines will streamline efficiencies AND create an environment that encourages successful aging.

The structured and comprehensive approach found in our Operational Guidelines manual outlines each policy listing, addresses the purpose of the policy and references related step-by-step procedures.

Included in the Operational Guidelines manual are policies and procedures for:
  • Administration
  • Environmental services
  • Food services
  • Activity/volunteer programs
  • Infection control
  • Emergency/disaster
  • Personnel


Trust Briggs, your clinical and regulatory partner for proven solutions in Resident Record Systems, Medical Conditions, Quality Improvement and Administrative systems.




Wisconsin Assisted Living Association (WALA) chose to use the Disaster Preparedness section of the Briggs Assisted Living Operational Guidelines at a recent statewide assisted living disaster preparedness session. We chose Briggs because the comprehensive outlines the template provides can be customized to any type or size of facility. The templates are clear, are easy to use, give an enormous head-start in the planning process and ensure that no piece is overlooked. Disaster preparedness planning is a very serious task that impacts the lives and safety of all employees and residents of assisted living; WALA would recommend the Briggs Disaster Preparedness section of the Assisted Living Operational Guidelines as a versatile tool for anyone who must create, review or update the disaster plan for a residence.
