Tackling Care Industry Challenges
The care industry is being put under strain now more than ever, with the impact of Covid-19 being felt especially within this sector with staff shortages, additional pressures and demand for staff often outweighing available resources. According to the Office of National Statistics, health and social care workers are the largest proportion of key worker occupations, making up 31% of these roles. It is more important now than ever for our Care Industry to have adequate and efficient technology in order to keep up with their day to day jobs.
The benefits of Mobile Technology in Care:
Quick and easy communication between employees, clients and sites.
NFC location tracking
Medication and proof of care audits
Today, with enhancements in technology and the increased need to digitally monitor requirements within the care industry, the implementation of NFC enabled handsets has become more widespread. This format of mobile monitoring ensures that information is recorded quickly and efficiently, allowing carers to spend more time with patients, whilst providing more capacity to spend on other responsibilities, alongside logging their working hours and locations on the move.
Before NFC it was common for carers to have to manually log their arrival at different client’s homes, but NFC allows them to scan NFC tags that provide proof of attendance and start times etc, whilst also providing additional protection for staff, where they can quickly report any issues which may occur on a visit. This has resulted in employers being able to track any absences whilst also providing proof of care and audits of any medication administered etc.
Many CAN Solutions business mobile handsets are NFC enabled and perfect for improving efficiency and productivity within the care industry. We understand that it is important to be able to manage employees on the move across multiple locations, and keep this requirement centralised within our service.
Evolving Care recently utilised our services to bring down their overall business costs, review their utility bills and ensure that all staff were able to easily manage staff rosters, client schedules, invoicing and time sheets on the move.
