Is the portal suitable for loved ones as a source of the resident's plan?

He provides information for the right recipient. The plan itself is prepared by the team responsible by involving the resident and properly assessing the representation.

How do you reduce the paperwork load on care workers while maintaining reliable records?

The registration is applied to the actual help and information need for the next shift. The same data is used for the transfer and required summary. The team agrees on what is necessary to capture during work so that it does not have to restore the maintenance workflow from memory or multiple lists later.

Who has to get into the shift transfer?

Relevant change, incomplete help, its deadline and required revision. The whole story remains accessible but must not obscure specific follow-up actions.

How is the right of a loved one to make decisions on behalf of a resident determined?

The right of decision is checked according to the specific situation and scope of representation. Relativeship or payment for a service does not create a universal right.

Industry digitalisation analysis

Social care and long-term care institutions: an analysis of digitalization

Clearer shift work and consistent care information

Digital maturity Typical digital maturity Shows the level of digitalisation companies in this line of business typically operate at. The assessment considers use of core systems, how far processes are digitalised, integrations, data readiness and advanced use of data. A 3 means ordinary, middling maturity. A 5 is given only where real-time data, automated decisions and advanced optimisation are already a routine part of core operations.: low
Digitalisation potential Digitalisation potential Shows the scale of business impact digitalisation could have in this line of business. It weighs economic leverage, the scope for digital impact, the scale and repetition of processes, value lost today, and the leverage of better data and decisions. A business area’s score is calculated from five weighted dimensions. A sector’s score is derived from the scores of its business areas.: 66/100
Biggest challenge: Population Care Plan Fragmented
Biggest opportunity: Another shift sees the maintenance work done and waiting

Operating model

Care is organized by several shifts, and the work is determined by the individual needs of the population. Information for the family is provided according to specific rights and agreements.

Long-term care with organized care

The team provides day-to-day assistance and care according to an individual plan. Tasks are assigned to the appropriate staff, and medication administration is recorded by authorized specialists.

Self-sufficiency and social care

A person performs part of the action on his or her own; help is selected according to individual need, and medication can be taken independently.

Day care service

A person spends part of the day in an institution, then returns home. On arrival and departure, important information for day care is transmitted.

Short-term and respite care

The institution accepts the person for the agreed period. During the reception, a relevant care plan and medication information is collected, and on departure, what has changed is transmitted.

Market context

Long-term care is provided by changing shifts, so the needs and actions of the resident must be clear to the other team. The loved ones need information for them and an understandable mode of communication. Digital registration must help with day-to-day work while maintaining the privacy of the resident and the limits of employee competence.

Information between shiftsAnother shift needs to know what has been done, what has changed and what work is still needed.
Communicating with loved onesIt is important for the institution to provide the agreed information to the people entitled to it and to preserve the history of their issues.

Workflow and responsibilities

Need and Choice

The person is included in the individual aid plan according to his/her capabilities and applicable representation.

Preparation of the shift

The current plan translates into specific actions by authorized employees.

Fact of aid

Performing, refusing or changing situation is recorded.

Evaluation and transmission

A significant change is accepted by the right specialist, and the unfinished action by the next team in charge.

Plan review and information

Individual aid is updated and information for the eligible recipients is provided.

Digital maturity scale

Separate records and manual work

Information is mainly held in separate files or notes. Employees pass it on and reconcile it manually.

Organised data within individual teams

Teams record their work consistently, but sharing information with colleagues still requires considerable manual checking.

Partially integrated systems

Core work is managed in systems. Some information is transferred automatically, but repeated data entry remains.

Coordinated systems and teams

Systems deliver the required data on time. Employees can see unfinished work and know who is responsible for resolving discrepancies.

Continuous measurement and improvement

The team checks data quality, evaluates results and uses them to improve operations. Automation is applied where its value can be demonstrated.

Executive conclusion

Staff must have clear shift tasks and important changes. Records of the actions taken help to continue maintenance, and incidents are transmitted in time to the specialist responsible.

Common digitalisation challenges

Population Care Plan Fragmented

High

Health, social, nutrition, mobility and day-to-day care data are stored separately.

Consequences: When a shift is transferred, up-to-date information on the health status, diet, mobility and planned care actions of the resident are not always visible.

Information between shifts is transmitted unevenly

High

Changes in the condition of the resident and remaining maintenance work are transmitted orally or in different inscriptions. It is not always clear what has already been done and what must be taken over by another shift.

Consequences: An important observation or task may remain without an executor. It is more difficult for the responsible professional to restore the course and decide what kind of care correction is needed.

Drug assignment not linked to actual use aid

High

The current version of the appointment, preparation, administration or assistance for self-consumption and exceptions are recorded separately.

Consequences: For the next shift, it is unclear what has actually been done and which situation still requires an authorized assessment.

Falls, bedsores, and other incidents are analyzed in a fragmented manner

High

The incident is recorded, but its circumstances, expert assessment and intended actions remain separate. It is not always verified whether an individual care plan has been revised after the event.

Consequences: The same unsolved circumstance may continue to operate.The institution does not have a coherent history that allows it to assess whether the intended actions were carried out and whether they were appropriate.

Communicating loved ones requires a lot of manual work

Medium

The information for the loved ones is transmitted by separate calls, not always preserving the question's history and the recipient's rights. The answer depends on the employee available at the time.

Consequences: The close appeal repeatedly or receive different explanations. Workers find it more difficult to complete the question and devote time to the care of the population.

Opportunities

Opportunities to improve operations

Care home resident and family self-service portalHigh impactThe entitled recipient accesses the documents assigned to him without being re-sent.An employee of an institution may continue on a specific issue, seeing its purpose and the information allowed.

Long-term care and shift task management systemHigh impactWhen an employee begins a shift, he or she sees changes in the care instructions and is given unfinished tasks.The team can check what has been done and pass questions on the maintenance plan to the specialist in a timely manner.

Medication administration recording systemHigh impactThe action performed is clearly distinguished from preparation or refusal.The other employee does not have to guess what actually happened, and the change of appointment is linked to the entry into force and the facts already recorded.

Biggest opportunity

Another shift sees the maintenance work done and waiting

Employees register the actions and significant changes provided in the individual plan. When transferring a shift, unfinished tasks and issues are seen to be assessed by the responsible specialist.

Less lost information between shifts
Clearer task execution
Faster search for care records
The individual care needs of the resident remain visible with a shift change

Business impact assessment

Potential operational benefitsClear changes, assigned staff and performance approvals reduce the risk of non-transferred work.
Why the problem mattersFailure to take over a necessary task or unclear performance record can disrupt the continuity of day-to-day maintenance.
Implementation dependenciesIt is important to reconcile the rules of care, the records of medicines and the rights of different representatives of the resident.
Clear communication with the resident and loved onesThe recipient receives information appropriate to his rights and an answer to the question asked. It is assessed whether such communication meets the need of the resident and the arrangements with the institution.

Problem

Drug assignment not linked to actual use aid

For the next shift, it is unclear what has actually been done and which situation still requires an authorized assessment.

Problem

Communicating loved ones requires a lot of manual work

The close appeal repeatedly or receive different explanations. Workers find it more difficult to complete the question and devote time to the care of the population.

Solution direction

Care home resident and family self-service portal

A resident or a right-holder finds documents and notices addressed to him/her. Questions are forwarded to the responsible staff of the institution under the beneficiary's access rights.

Criteria for assessing the investment

Investment justified

Residents and their loved ones regularly request documents or information about services that have already been prepared.
When transferring the shift, it is unclear what maintenance work has been done, what has changed and what remains to be completed.
Shifts are difficult to tell whether the drug is only ready, already given, or failed to give.

Implementation requirements

Care processes describe the scope of assistance provided and the communication of information between shifts and institutions. The person's choice, change of condition and return after departure have a clear review responsibility.

Long-term care with organized care

Combine shift information, nursing actions and drug administration facts.

Self-sufficiency and social care

Describe a person's choices, scope of self-sufficiency support, and review of the plan.

Day care service

To determine the transfer of arrival, departure and actually rendered assistance to relatives or another provider.

Short-term and respite care

Align reception details, changed information and transmission after temporary service.

Key implementation requirements

Person's involvement

An individual plan is prepared by involving the person himself in accordance with his/her capabilities and applicable representation. The close one does not become a universal decider solely because of his/her kinship.

Staff powers

The actions of day-to-day care and medicines are performed by staff authorized for a specific function; a common task system does not unify these powers.

Records of the administration and use of medicines

The appointment, preparation, presentation and actually observed use of the drug are different facts. Self-administration has a separate scope of assistance and monitoring.

Relationship between incident and plan

Recording an incident does not replace the immediate action required. A review of the plan must assess the actual event and the need for the person, not just to achieve a lower number of registered incidents.

Operational performance indicators

Number of staff member who confirmed important tasks without responsibilitynumber of actions

Evaluate by its term and the actual reception of the responsible employee.

Shift Information Collectionworking minutes

Measured together by checking the transmission's fullness.

Uncertain Drug Action Recordnumber of records

Distinguish between actual performance, self-consumption assistance, and a specific reason for non-performance.

Part of negative feedback on information provided by the care institution%

When a company starts collecting feedback, negative reviews about the information provided by the care institution are counted from all assessments received on this topic. The same method of assessment is applied before and after installation and similar customer groups are compared. Without initial data, the actual change is not determined.

The Most Important Risks
