Writing a Progress Note After a Visit
How a support worker writes an NDIS or aged care progress note in Teiro straight from the visit record: seeing the client's note history, a full-screen composer, and a save that timestamps and attributes the note automatically.
Full transcript
The full text of the walkthrough above, for anyone who would rather read it or needs it in text form.
Know exactly whose visit this is
On the Teiro app, a support worker's day starts on Home, with today's shifts listed plainly: who, and when. Marcus opens his 9am personal care visit for Margaret Okafor. Before anything else, the visit detail sheet confirms exactly whose care he is documenting, tied to the specific scheduled service, not a generic client list.
See the history before you add to it
The Notes section on the visit shows what already happened. Margaret's last visit, from over two weeks earlier, is right there: what was noted, who wrote it, and exactly when. A progress note is not a one-off form, it is a running record attached to the client, and every worker who opens this visit sees the same history before they add a word of their own.
A proper composer, not a cramped text box
Tapping Add a note opens a full, dedicated composer, not a squeezed text field wedged into a form. There is room to write properly, plus a one-tap "No concerns" shortcut for the routine visits where nothing needs flagging.
Write it up right after the visit
Marcus writes the note the way a real shift note reads: mood, what was done, anything to follow up on. Save stays disabled until there is actually something typed, so an empty note cannot go through by accident.
Every note is timestamped and attributed, automatically
The moment Save is tapped, the note lands on Margaret's record instantly, no separate sync step, no waiting for someone to file it later. It carries Marcus's name and the exact time automatically, sitting directly under the visit it belongs to, alongside the note from her last visit. Nobody has to remember to write down who wrote it or when. Teiro already knows.
