Keeping on top of developments in technology for your care home is vital. Implementing new technology needs to increase efficiency and productivity as well as improve resident care, all of which requires financial investment and commitment. Below are some key questions to consider that could save you both time and money.
Technology is there to automate manual activities, as well as save money. It is a big decision and one you want to get right. The first question is, how will this impact staff? There needs to be proven visibility so they can maximise efficiency.
Does it meet your future business goals? New technology must be scaleable and adaptable. It is time-consuming and a waste of money to implement a solution that quickly becomes obsolete.
Will staff be able to use it? New technology will always need to fit in with the team, often new methods can cause resistance, so training is essential, ideally so staff can learn quickly and use their intuition.
Does it integrate? Platforms should allow easy and speedy integration within existing systems. For example, GHM Care’s Nexus platform fully integrates with existing Nursecall systems.
Will it be supported? Consider the resources available to you, especially if there is not a skill set in-house to utilise. At GHM we have a coherent onboarding process and offer full support to users.
