Seeking: Residential care provider located anywhere in Australia
To partner with: Technology Provider
Problem to be solved: Many aged care facilities rely on paper-based diary systems to schedule and inform external visiting health practitioners. There is limited capacity to track attendance, prioritise relevant information and integrate communication between the multidisciplinary team into the residents’ care plans. This can lead to errors and delays in residents receiving appropriate and timely care and contribute to inefficiencies for the nursing and care staff.
Solution to be trialled: A web-based aged care management software system which allows users (e.g. GPs, visiting allied health or hospital outreach teams) to access accurate referrals linked to resident profiles and clinical information. Users can then input information from their assessments and reviews so it can be viewed by the multidisciplinary team and the facility staff. The system allows users to review and track resident progress, with improved record keeping and compliance for auditing purposes. The platform is accessible via tablet, desktop and smartphone.
Brief description of the opportunity: The developers are seeking a partner organisation to trial the platform, initially, with a limited number of their registered nurses (dependent on facility size and capacity), care managers (1-2) and visiting/on-site physiotherapists. System training would be conducted in 3x30 minute in-person or online sessions. Expected trial use time would be 3 months, during which time the developers would like to receive feedback on the platform’s functionality through an online portal and a 10-minute interview.
Benefit to the aged care provider: The ability to work with the developer to co-design the platform to meet industry needs, explore the benefits of the platform to their team's efficiency and resident outcomes. Discounted pricing after the trial period.
