The platform

Everything a Director of Staff Development actually does

One login for the whole job — each module built to the regulation it satisfies.

Compliance Matrix

One living grid of every employee against every mandated requirement — colour-coded, filterable, and always survey-ready.

  • Each cell carries the regulation behind it, not just a date
  • Scored separately for skilled nursing and assisted living
  • Expiring items surface before they lapse, not after

Staff Directory

The whole team in one searchable record: titles, departments, credentials, documents, and health screening.

  • Licences verified against the issuing State board
  • Every certificate and form stored on the employee
  • Role-tiered access to sensitive identity fields

Training & In-Service

Plan, assign, and evidence in-services and continuing education across the year.

  • Attendance posts straight into the Compliance Matrix
  • Relias completions import automatically into one unified training record
  • Monthly calendar emailed to staff automatically
  • CE hours tracked per licence cycle, not per year

Scheduling & Staffing

Build and publish staff schedules that fit the realities of a 24/7 care community.

  • Daily assignment sheets that stand up as survey evidence
  • Nursing-hours-per-patient-day figures from the same data
  • Printable in the formats your facility already posts

Forms & Resources

The forms, letters, and regulatory library your team reaches for, kept current and searchable.

  • State forms fillable on screen and printable to the original
  • Regulatory letters and bulletins indexed and full-text searchable
  • Facility records and policies filed against survey readiness

Reports & Reminders

Day-to-day records turned into the documents leadership and surveyors actually ask for.

  • Branded with your facility’s own letterhead
  • Renewal watch-lists and license-expiry alerts sent for you
  • Built from live records — never a stale spreadsheet

Built for the work

Your facility’s data, walled off from every other.

Draco Staff Development is organised around the way a Director of Staff Development actually works, and it treats your records the way a survey demands.

  • Strict per-facility isolation — no facility can ever see another’s data.
  • 2FA & passkeys, with role-tiered access to sensitive fields.
  • Activity log — every record change is logged, kept on a rolling 30 days.
  • Regulation-aware — federal and state requirements, tracked to the rule.
