How to create a Mental Capacity Assessment on Cloud
Creating a Mental Capacity Assessment within Care Control Cloud is useful because it allows you to securely record, update, and access assessments from anywhere, ensuring compliance with the Mental Capacity Act. It supports consistent, person-centred care by enabling teams to work collaboratively, track changes over time, and maintain clear, auditable records—all within one centralised system.
