OpsCore-RTC — real time care, real impact

Chapter 748, with the clock already running. Inspection-ready.

A minute inside the operation.

Every screen in this film is the running product, recorded against the demonstration facility.

Then walk the campus: nine places, each holding the part of the platform that belongs to it.

Administration

Where the day starts — every clock, worst first

The operation, not just the paperwork.

Intake through discharge, and every record a licensing visit asks for along the way. This is where the day starts: open clocks across the operation, ordered by what is overdue rather than by what was entered last, each one carrying the rule it was computed from.

The dashboard

Twenty-six pending compliance clocks, four overdue and escalated, and an escalated row cited to 26 TAC §745.621 with the days overdue and an evidence field beside it.

The Cottages

Children and placements, intake to discharge

Intake through discharge, on one record.

Children and placements: admission, placement history, service plans and the documents each one requires, on one record rather than in four places.

Children in care

Every active record across your facilities, with admission date, allergies and how many clocks are running on that child — and which are overdue.

ChildrenLive product
The OpsCore-RTC children list showing each child's identifier, facility, admission date, allergy notes, number of compliance clocks with overdue counts, and in-care or discharged status.

Incidents and emergency behaviour intervention

26 TAC §748.1093 · Due in 21 days

The incident starts its own clock.

Serious incidents and emergency behaviour intervention recorded against the rule that governs them, with the notification window running from the moment it is logged.

Incidents, and the clock they start

§748.303 serious incidents by category, each one starting its own notification clocks the moment it is logged — with what is still pending shown as pending.

Incidents · §748.303Live product
The OpsCore-RTC incidents screen with counts for open incidents, overdue notifications, children currently missing and resolved, above a table of serious incidents by category, child, facility, notification state and status.

The Clinic

Medication, consent-gated

Consent on file, or it does not run.

Administration records, counts and the errors that have to be reported, kept where an inspector can be shown them.

Medications, consent-gated

Subchapter L: psychotropics that will not run without consent on file, administration records, quarterly evaluations, refills, destruction with a witness, and the errors that have to be reported.

Medications · Subchapter LLive product
The OpsCore-RTC medications table listing each medication and dose with psychotropic and controlled-substance markers, the child, the consent date, when it was last given, and flags such as quarterly evaluation due or overdue and refill dates.

The Staff Building

Personnel files, training and ratio

26 TAC §745.621 · 9 days overdue

The file, the check and the training year.

§748.363 files, background checks, credentials and the renewal dates that quietly expire if nobody is watching — with required hours by role, orientation completion, and who is short of what before it becomes a finding.

Personnel files and ratio

§748.363 files, background checks and the 50-hour training year per staff member — with the caregiver ratio worked out for you, including the children who count as two.

Staff · §748.363, §748.930Live product

The T3C House

The 2027 credential deadline, and every requirement behind it

Texas Child-Centered Care, with the clock on the wall.

T3C is how DFPS now credentials residential operations: a Service Package Credential, earned against the T3C System Blueprint. Every requirement below is one OpsCore RTC already tracks, each tied to the screen where the record lives.

Service Package Credential deadline · September 1, 2027

“Providers that have not applied for a Credential or are still awaiting a Service Package Credential on September 1, 2027, won’t receive any new placements.”DFPS, T3C What’s New

Walk the requirements

Pick a group, then a requirement. Tick the ones your operation already has to see where you stand.

0 of 38ticked as already in place at your operation. OpsCore RTC tracks all 38, with a live status for each facility.

CANS 3.0 assessments

T3C System Blueprint, July 2026 · p.22; Tier I Basic p.169

What T3C asks

Each child 3 and older has a CANS 3.0 within 30 days of placement (or of turning 3) and at least once a year.

How OpsCore RTC meets it

Filing a CANS on the child's Assessments tab meets the deadline and starts the next annual one.

Where it goes further

  • A live status for every requirement

    Each requirement shows its status for each of your facilities, not a checklist you fill in once.

  • A mock audit, run like a monitor would

    The mock audit runs every T3C and Chapter 748 check over the live records, so you find it before they do.

  • An interval where the Blueprint sets none

    The Blueprint sets no interval for workload reviews; OpsCore RTC asks for one every 3 months.

  • The caseworker copy has its own deadline

    Continued stay confirmations carry the 15 business day copy to the caseworker as a clock of its own.

T3C Credentialing Support

TDS Enterprise Solutions helps Texas General Residential Operations prepare for Texas Child-Centered Care (T3C) credentialing. Based on information the operation provides, we prepare draft policies and procedures, a logic model, staffing, training, quality assurance and aftercare plans, an information system plan, and checklists for the GRO Full Credential application. A TDS reviewer checks every document before it is delivered.

TDS does not issue, grant or guarantee a T3C credential. Credentials are issued by the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services (DFPS) to the operation, and TDS is not affiliated with or endorsed by DFPS or HHSC. The operation reviews, adopts and is responsible for its own policies and practices, and its leadership signs and submits the application and every attestation. Where national accreditation is required, it is granted only by CARF, The Joint Commission or COA. Our services are not legal advice.

Which is the work this replaces: the clocks run themselves and the people do the care.
The rules move
HHSC is renumbering Chapter 748. The licence keeps your citations and clocks current as that happens, rather than leaving you on a version that was right the year you bought it.
Separated by facility
Each facility keeps its own staff, children and records under one operation, so a multi-site provider is not sharing one pool of everything.
Recorded, not asserted
Every privileged action is written to the audit trail with the actor, the entity and what changed. That is what makes a record defensible when someone asks.

Straight answers.

Which rules does this actually cover?

The operational chapters of 26 TAC Chapter 748 that a residential operation lives in day to day: admission and placement, incidents and emergency behaviour intervention, medication, personnel and training, and the documentation each of those requires. Clocks are cited to the rule they come from rather than to a deadline someone typed in.

HHSC is renumbering Chapter 748. What happens to us?

That is the reason this is a term licence rather than a one-time purchase. When the numbering and the requirements move, the citations and clocks move with them, and you do not pay again to stay current.

What does an inspector actually see?

The record, and the history behind it. Every privileged action is recorded with the actor, the entity and what changed, so "who changed this and when" has an answer rather than a shrug.

We run more than one facility.

Each facility is separated, with its own staff, children and records, under one operation. Pricing is per facility; the figures are in the pricing section on this page.

Walk one facility through it.

We will take a real placement from intake to discharge and show you what the record looks like at the end.
