A New Year… a new beginning awaits!
The role technology plays in the social care sector is becoming increasing prevalent. It’s hard to believe there are care homes that still use the traditional paper and pen approach in this digital age. The daily challenges of regulatory compliance and evidencing care provided places an incredible burden on owners, managers, care staff and service users. Failure to strictly adhere to demands may well lead to inadequate ratings and compromise the health and well-being of the service users; but despite this, care providers are still fear technology.
Care homes that have adopted electronic care planning systems have shown clear benefits, such as a boost in productivity, improved communications, and better outcomes for residents.

Over the past year, we’ve seen a number of initiatives, particularly by the Care Quality Commission (CQC) urging the health and social care providers to embrace innovative digital technologies to improve care delivery. Driving improvement through technology includes examples from across health and social care. These range from mobile care monitoring apps that help people to take more control of their care, to digital care management systems for sharing care planning records.
Dr Malte Gerhold, Director of Strategy and Intelligence of Care Quality Commission (CQC) said:
“As regulator, the quality of care and safety of people who receive it is paramount for us. But that does not mean that regulation has to be a barrier to innovation. Quite the opposite. We want to see the great potential of new technologies in improving the quality of care and safety become reality – and are determined to help make it possible.
