BSO-DOS© 2025 protocol

Last update: 2025 July

To use the BSO-DOS© protocol for dementia behaviour charting in the app, admin users must first complete the BSO-DOS© protocol set up via the web portal. Learn more in Knowledge Base - Protocol and Assessment Tool settings.

1. As with assigning any protocols, users can assign the BSO-DOS© protocol to a resident(s) through either Measure, Reminder or Settings from the Menu.
2. Once assigned, go to Reminder in the menu and tap the ASMT tab at the top. The BSO-DOS© protocol tasks will appear in chronological order and include the following three categories: Background, Data Collection and Analysis & Planning. 
   
   

I. Background

1. Tap the first protocol task labeled ‘DOS-Background’ in the reminder list. This will open the Background Information sheet, where nurses can record the reasons for initiating the BSO-DOS© protocol.
   
   
   
   
2. Select all applicable reasons and tap the Save button to complete the background documentation.
   
   

II. Data Collection

1. Tap the protocol task labeled ‘DOS-Data Collection’ in the reminder list. This will open the Data Collection sheet, where all care team members can record Observed Behaviours and their corresponding Contexts.
   
   
   
   
2. Tap on a behaviour category to expand more options, then select the appropriate items before tapping the Save button.
3. To view the resident’s up-to-date behaviour statistics, tap the text labeled ‘BSO-DOS© 2025 / 30mins #...’ located under the resident’s name in the right panel.

III. Analysis and Planning

1. Tap on the final reminder task titled ‘Analysis and Planning’. This will open the Analysis and Planning sheet, where nurses can review a colour-coded summary of the observed data.
   
   
   
   
2. Scroll down at the left panel to continue to mark the frequency, duration or risks of behaviour categories that might be concerning.
   
   
   
   

3. In the right panel, users can document findings, possible causes, contributing factors, and next steps to complete the Data Analysis section.

4. Tap Also add PROGRESS NOTE below to include the recorded analysis details in the resident’s progress note via Smart Input feature.

5. Finally, tap the SAVE button to complete the protocol. The progress note and protocol summary report will be sent to PointClickCare’s Progress Note and Miscellaneous sections respectively.
