Care Homes whitepaper series

Technology adding value

Synchronising technology with humanity is a question that is going to be mission-critical. But as one CEO put it, managing technology could be like constantly pressing on the fast-forward button on the television remote and trying to make sense of what you’re watching on the screen.

As yet, the digital revolution might not have taken hold across the care sector - but it’s going to happen, probably sooner rather than later.

In a report commissioned by iplicit, the cloud accounting software company, to be prepared and published by DECISION magazine later this year, owners and directors in the care sector will be talking about the issues and how they can be reconciled.

Leading up to publication, the latest thought-provoking interview to be included in the report will be available here for you to download.

INTERVIEW 01

Arnon Rubinstein

Managing Director, Future Care Group

“Systems not only have to facilitate the running of a home and the care for its residents but enable communication with the outside world, so for example relatives can access loved ones by video conference and review their care plans."

INTERVIEW 02

Raina Summerson

Chief Executive, Agincare Group

“IT means next of kin can log straight in to their relative’s care records, although only about twenty per cent use that facility. For them, electronic records are more about occasional observation, but for the care home, they are core to its operation."

INTERVIEW 03

Clare Norris

Managing Director, The Contemplation Group

“The thinking about technology in a care home setting is that it has to be about enhancing the provision of care rather than providing the actual care."
