Basic analytics
Every care service needs a straightforward way to answer one question: how are we doing right now. Basic analytics is that answer, an at-a-glance view of your core compliance and training completion numbers, included as standard on every plan so no home is left without the essentials.
The essentials, included as standard.
Basic analytics is the entry-level reporting layer that comes with CareStream on every plan. It surfaces the numbers that matter most day to day, how much of your mandatory and annual training is complete, and where your core compliance stands, in a simple view a manager can read at a glance.
It matters because most single homes do not need, and do not have time for, deep data analysis to run well. They need a reliable snapshot that tells them whether training is on track and compliance is holding up. Basic analytics gives care providers exactly that baseline, so nobody is running blind, whatever plan they are on.
This is the everyday dashboard a registered manager can glance at between rounds. It is not built to drill into every trend or slice the data by team and site. It is built to give a single home a clear, honest read on where its compliance and training stand, without any setup or extra cost.
Any single care home, nursing home or home care service that wants a clear, essential read on its compliance and training without extra cost or setup.
You can always see at a glance whether training completion and core compliance are on track, so an inspection never catches you unaware of the basics.
The difference it makes day to day
- See core training completion and compliance figures at a glance, without digging.
- Know instantly whether your mandatory and annual training is on track.
- Get a reliable baseline read on your service with no setup required.
- Spot obvious gaps in completion before they become an inspection problem.
- Run a single home confidently on essential numbers included with every plan.
- Have a clear starting point that you can build on with advanced analytics later.
How basic analytics works.
Basic analytics reads directly from the training and compliance activity already happening in CareStream, so the view is live and needs no configuration. The moment your service is up and running, the essential numbers are there.
The emphasis is on clarity over depth. Rather than lots of filters and breakdowns, you get a clean summary of the core figures, designed to be understood in seconds by a busy manager.
Read live activity
The dashboard pulls current training and compliance data straight from your service with no manual updating.
Summarise the core
It focuses on the essentials, training completion and headline compliance, rather than every possible metric.
Show at a glance
Figures are presented as a simple snapshot a registered manager can take in during a quick check.
Where training completion is low or compliance is slipping, the numbers make it obvious.
As staff train and records update, the view refreshes so the snapshot always reflects today.
When you need trends and breakdowns, advanced analytics builds on the same foundation.
- Included as standard on every CareStream plan
- Focuses on core compliance and training completion numbers
- Designed as an at-a-glance snapshot for a single home
- Needs no setup and stays current automatically
- The entry-level layer beneath the deeper advanced analytics
Essential numbers, no barrier to entry.
The reason basic analytics works is that it meets a single home exactly where it is. Most managers do not want a data project, they want to know if training and compliance are where they should be, and to know it quickly.
By including this layer on every plan and keeping it simple, CareStream makes sure no service goes without the essentials, while leaving the deeper analysis to those who need it.
The core numbers come as standard, so even the entry plan is never flying blind.
A clean snapshot means a busy manager gets the picture without wading through data.
It reads live activity from day one, so there is nothing to configure before you benefit.
It gives a firm starting point you can extend with advanced analytics when the need grows.
Frequently asked
What is included in basic analytics?
Basic analytics gives you the core numbers a single home needs to know how it is doing: your training completion figures across mandatory and annual training, and a headline read on your compliance position. It is deliberately focused on the essentials so a registered manager can take it in at a glance. It does not include the deeper trend analysis, breakdowns by team, role or site, and drill-down that come with advanced analytics. Think of it as the reliable baseline every service gets, with the richer reporting available as a step up when you need it.
Is basic analytics available on all plans?
Yes. Basic analytics is included as standard on every CareStream plan, because we think no care service should be left without a clear view of its own compliance and training. Whatever plan you are on, the essential at-a-glance numbers are there. This makes it the natural starting point. When your service or group needs more depth, such as trends over time or comparisons across teams and sites, advanced analytics extends the same foundation without you having to move to a different system.
How is basic analytics different from advanced analytics?
Basic analytics answers how are we doing right now with core compliance and training completion numbers, presented simply for a single home. It is the entry-level layer and is included on every plan. Advanced analytics goes deeper. It adds trends over time, breakdowns by team, role and site, and richer compliance insight with drill-down, aimed at services and groups that need more than the headline figures. Many providers start on basic and move up as their reporting needs grow.
Do I need to set anything up to use basic analytics?
No. Basic analytics reads directly from the training and compliance activity already happening in CareStream, so there is nothing to configure. From the moment your service is running, the essential numbers are there to view. The view also stays current on its own. As staff complete training and records update, the snapshot refreshes, so what you see always reflects where your home stands today rather than a report you had to build or schedule.
