Abstract: Care Planning within the residential aged care, community, and retirement village sectors (Aged Care Sector) is complex and work intensive, and this is primarily due to the requirement by Aged Care Sector operators to comply with relevant regulations and legislation which underpins service provision. Nurses today spend significant time at desk top computers (Nurse Time On Computers) ensuring that all documentation required under the relevant regulatory and legislative frameworks is completed, spending significant time away from direct care delivery. Time away from direct care can be as high as 1.5 to 2 hours per eight (8) hour shift at desk top computers typing required information into consumer records, care plans, or incident management systems. Further to this, documentation is often completed at the end of a shift, resulting in a lower level of accuracy of reporting, higher potential for information recall failure by nurses, and a higher likelihood of information culling by nurses to conform to time pressures. The VOICE ACTIVATED CARE DOCUMENTATION SYSTEM is a voice activated care documentation approach and model that applies the latest voice recognition technology using unique voice command conventions to transfer important care documentation information at point of care from the nurse to a custom consumer record management software solution. The VOICE ACTIVATED CARE DOCUMENTATION SYSTEM ensures that key documentation is completed at the time an event occurs, resulting in a higher level of accuracy and timeliness of reporting, increasing the direct care time of the nurse. It is estimatedthat the VOICE ACTIVATED CARE DOCUMENTATION METHOD will reduce the amount of Nurse Time On Computers by approximately 8 0 %.
