Take your care management to the next level

The Coronavirus pandemic has changed our world, and we have had to learn new ways to cope in an incredibly difficult environment. The virus has driven changes for the worse but also some for better outcomes.

Whilst the emergence of vaccines hold great promise for 2021, they will not change the fundamentals of providing care. Service Providers will continue to face extraordinary demands and this calls for a re-assessment of the tools required to maintain high standards of care. One such area is the adoption of technology as an aid to care excellence.

Digital System - A Post-Pandemic Necessity

Care homes that adopted digital systems, no matter how basic, before the outbreak have shown clear benefits in productivity, improved communications and huge savings in time. Cura Systems does that and more. It empowers the caregivers, freeing them up from tedious paperwork to support the service users and enables every action to be recorded in compliance with CQC regulations. Our latest addition, Resource Planner, enables flawless management of staff rosters; in conjunction with Cura Angel, a mobile based app that allows care staff to see and confirm their shifts, etc.

"There is an opportunity now for government, Parliament and health and care leaders to agree and lay out a vision for the future at both a national and local level. This should include plans for addressing the inequalities accentuated by COVID, the workforce challenges that have become even more acute, and the necessary investment in technology." - Peter Wyman and IanTrenholm, Chair and Chief Executive of CQC

CQC Report, Electronic Care Plans 22Oct, 2019

Cura Supports CQC’s State of Care Annual Report

The Care Quality Commission’s (CQC) annual assessment of the state of health and social care in England shows how providers are working together more effectively – often using technology to help – to ensure that people get the care they need when they need it.

CQC is clearly supporting the use of technology and innovation to improve the delivery of quality care.  Cura shares this belief and wholeheartedly supports CQC’s leadership in encouraging care providers to use of digital systems to enhance their care services.  Read the full report here: https://www.cqc.org.uk/publications/major-report/state-care

Cura’s view on CQC’s five key barriers to adoption of technology

1. A lack of funding to invest in technology

Investment in technology pays for itself in the long run.  The cost of handling paper will continue to rise.  Going digital also saves caregiver’s time (up to 2 hours per day) that can be better deployed.

2. A low level of knowledge and awareness among providers and staff – adoption of technology tends to rely on confident individuals

Technology can be daunting. A step-by-step adoption works well.  Cura’s user friendly, intuitive care management systems and a friendly helpdesk with lots of hand-holding will ease the process in every step of your digital journey.

3. Fear that technology could replace personal support

Technology will never replace the human touch! Technology makes quality care easier.  To survive in the digital age, care providers must embrace technology to improve outcomes.

4. The perception that people who use adult social care are not interested or will respond badly to technology

Lack of IT knowledge using digital care systems for adult social care may lead to wrong perceptions of its potential as a tool to transform care – life changing for both the caregivers and service users. Our customers have seen positive results of how they have delivered effective individualized care by simply using our electronic care plans.

5. Concerns about ethical or data protection implications in adopting technology that uses personal information

Cura’s Cloud servers are hosted with the industry’s most respected organisations and we are vigilant about security and constantly upgrade our systems to avoid the growing number of threats. Under no circumstances will we share any customer data held in our servers with anyone and all data control vests with the care home.

The CQC has continually urged health and care services to embrace innovative digital technologies. We have the right tools and support to improve CQC ratings. If you do not yet use technology within your care setting. It’s time to go paperless and reap significant benefits. Find out what you’re missing, contact us on 020 3621 9111 to see the most feature rich care home software in the market today.

Cura Systems response to the CQC State of Care report

This year’s State of Care report shows the quality of health and social care has been maintained, despite very real challenges, the majority of people are getting good care. But future quality is precarious at best, as the system struggles with complex new types of care demand and needs, access and cost.

CQC State of Annual Report in Health Care

The Care Quality Commission’s annual assessment of the quality of health and social care in England contains much that is encouraging. As of 31 July 2017, 78% of adult social care services were rated good (71% were rated good at 31 July 2016) but it continually echoed this was due to tireless efforts of care leaders and staff and noted the continuing risk of a ‘tipping point’. It is crucial that we do something before service deterioration outpaces the capacity for service improvement.

Professor Martin Green, OBE, Chief Executive of Care England highlighted, “There is a lot of uncertainty in the sector and by dragging its heels, and Government simply cannot abdicate responsibility for those in need of care.”
