Newcross Healthcare Solutions take home care planning into the mobile age

Oct. 1, 2013 - PRLog -- October 1st – Information technology continues to advance and influence healthcare delivery in this country, which is why Newcross Healthcare Solutions has developed a new tablet app that will transform home care planning and delivery by assisting clinical assessors in providing a vastly improved service to home care clients in their own homes.

The app is a portable tool that allows clinical assessors to create, personalise and confirm care plans in a significantly reduced amount of time, whilst operating safe and best practice. It will support clinical assessors to focus on patients and ensure they immediately receive the exceptional care for which Newcross is renowned.

By centralising assessment procedures onto one digital platform, Newcross clinical assessors do not need to complete duplicate documentation, and every care plan that goes into a client’s home is legible and clear. Care plans are generated to a uniform standard, ensuring all Newcross clients receive a consistent and high quality experience at all times. Newcross recognises that client needs vary contextually and on a case-by-case basis, which is why every element of a care plan can be overwritten and amended at an assessor’s discretion to facilitate a personalised approach to care.

The concept for the Newcross Homecare Management App arose from Managing Director, Michelle Pattrick RN, recognising a number of inefficiencies in care plan services and procedures throughout the healthcare sector. The process often resulted in a lengthy turnaround that Michelle believed could be significantly reduced and solved by easing the burden of administration and allowing healthcare professionals to focus on what really matters; patient care.

The Newcross Homecare Management App is a unique design and is the result of experts in various fields coming together to oversee individual elements of the app’s development. Led by clinical input from experienced nurses, the app is designed to provide an intuitive experience that allows the user to concentrate on listening to a client and provide the highest quality service possible. The app’s interface is user-friendly and integrates seamlessly into a clinical assessor’s routine, and with additional support from excellent systems training, is accessible to all who need to use it.

As a bespoke system designed in-house, the app is adaptable and can be updated to reflect future innovations in homecare delivery and maintain best practice standard, ensuring clients receive exceptional care long into the future. Perhaps the greatest benefit of the Newcross Homecare Management App is that it is included in Newcross’ initial client assessments, which are free to anyone considering care or support at home. Service users are already beginning to see the benefits of this revolutionary system, which reduces turnaround time, ensures safe practice and eliminates duplicated documentation, after it was launched nationally in September 2013.
