Key Features
Better information means better care
Account personalization
Users can curate their profile and background images, customizing how they are presented. Personal mottos add a peek into their personality right off the bat.
Person-first interaction
Too often service systems are set up so that the first introduction new staff have to someone they will be supporting is a medicalized case file. With a person first profile, staff discover the human side first, transforming support interactions - no case file to be seen.
Inclusive storytelling and expression
Not everyone can read and write well and this can exclude people supported from being part of person directed planning. With being able to share pictures in MyCompass, people served who struggle with literacy can be part of the process.
Comprehensive picture and source of truth
The MyCompass profile prompts staff to explore what works and doesn’t work for a person supported - while they build out the profile together.
For Support Workers
Richer, person focussed service with streamlined access to information
Previous interests are as important to understand as current ones. Knowing what someone is interested in helps build meaningful plans, engaging goals and rich day to day interactions. Access a persons profile and gain context for all aspects of support - on site or in the field.
Ensure supports see the human side of a person first

Capture the past and the present
Previous interests are as important to understand as current ones. Knowing what someone is interested in helps build meaningful plans.
Configurable prompting questions
Administrators can custom tailor prompting questions for each area of the about page, for all individuals in the organization.
Help people set their own goals and accomplish them
Setting goals and follow through is easier to manage now that you can assign people and the tasks they need to do to help a person they support to accomplish their goals. I really like that it is a living way to stay on track, instead of relying on a paper copy of goals that we only used to look at once a year when it was time to update.

I love the intuitive nature of MyCompass
...making it far easier to work with than other data collection tools. Above all, it has meaning and purpose for the individual serving to highlight the person directed approach that our agency believes in.

I'm part of it!
MyCompass App is very cool where I can be a part of and be able to access and see what pictures caregivers put in my timeline and the comments they put after them describing what the photos are representing. And I can comment on them too. I also get to be a part of who I choose to help me with my goals so I can get them achieved.

Stay connected with my family in meaningful ways
I love how MyCompass allows me to keep track of my goals that I have planned to achieve. I also like how it allows families to be actively engaged with what is happening in their son or daughters lives.

Life isn't planned once a year
...and being involved on a continuous basis through MyCompass Planning presents opportunities for ongoing dialogue and conversations. Having families actively engaged in planning for their son or daughter is the best way to ensure support is the absolute best they can be.

MyCompass is a very efficient method of data collection
Our Association has been utilizing MyCompass for just over two years now. It has been a great tool and a very efficient method of data collection. It's very convenient to have information regarding the Individuals we support at our finger tips. We have just scratched the surface of the usefulness that MyCompass can provide and I look forward to Having our Individuals that we support, take on a more active role in their MyCompass page.
