Digital Solutions for Remote Aged Care
Digital Solutions for Remote Aged Care In an effort to improve the aged care sector and bring it up to date with the 21st century, the Australian government launched the Royal Commission into Aged Care Quality and Safety. The commission's ‘Final Report’, released in March 2021 following thorough research, uncovered a significant technology gap in the aged care industry. It was revealed that the sector is falling behind in adopting and effectively utilising technology, lacking a clear strategy for information and communications technology. Consequently, this has resulted in limited progress in research, innovation, and technological advancements.
This eBook explores the evolving landscape of aged care in Australia and offers solutions for providers to bridge the technology gap in remote care services.
Streamline and Improve Workflows at the Point of Care
Healthcare technologies and solutions can help remote providers meet their new regulatory requirements and digitise processes for a more efficient and flexible in-home ecosystem. Here are some of the tools providers can use to bridge the technology gap in remote care service.
1
Changes to the Serious Incident Response Scheme (SIRS)
Serious Incident Response Scheme (SIRS) aims to reduce abuse and neglect in aged care and help providers deliver safe, top-quality support. Previously, SIRS didn’t apply to in-home services, but now remote providers must comply with a stricter incident reporting and prevention mandate.
2
Portable printing and incident prevention
Aged care providers can support their preventative efforts by reducing risk wherever possible — most notably, at the point of care. Part of this process involves equipping remote care teams and their patients with flexible, reliable information technologies.
3
Portable scanning and incident reporting
Portable scanners help medical staff rapidly digitise information at the point of care and instantly upload it to their cloud storage system, such as an Electronic Medical Record (EMR). From there, they can upload it to the My Aged Care portal, as required by law.
Healthcare providers know that collaboration and information sharing are important. The aged care industry is no different - especially when it comes to remote care services. Download this eBook and learn more how digital technology can improve and streamline processes in the aged care sector.
