Residential Care
Care Home Software For Enhanced Health Monitoring
Improving care in residential homes is a key priority for both the NHS and local authorities. As part of the NHS Long Term Plan, the Enhanced Health in Care Homes (EHCH) programme supports better, more responsive care including the nomination of GPs to care homes to help improve responsiveness and care. Optimising care in residential settings is an important element in transforming the delivery of out-of-hospital care.
Residential Care Software
Our care home health monitoring software, DOC@HOME®, can be configured specifically for care homes and their ways of working. It’s also aligned with the demands of EHCH.
With our residential care home monitoring software, clinicians can establish a baseline for each resident’s normal condition. Where residents do not have a need for frequent monitoring, observations are taken monthly or fortnightly.
These observations and approach enable clinicians to make better-informed decisions and reduces demand on their time.
Benefits of care home software for residents
DOC@HOME - our care home monitoring software - has already been implemented across a number of care homes, enabling primary and community care to access more clinical data and making it easier for carers to contact GPs about unwell residents.
Solving common challenges
- Understanding what information a GP needs regarding an unwell resident
- ‘Telephone Tennis’ – back and forth of telephone calls with a healthcare professional
- Lengthy hold times to speak with a healthcare professional
- Prolonged email exchanges
- Miscommunication between carers and clinicians due to medical jargon
- New staff unsure who to call for support
With remote monitoring, these challenges are significantly reduced!
