Digital Transformation We have adopted the principle of Real Time Compliance Management to ensure that good standards of care are upheld to benefit our residents across every hour of the day. This is only possible through comprehensive Digital Transformation comprising of investment in digital systems and the establishment of a Support Centre to support our staff to use these systems to their full potential. Experienced Nurse Consultant, Aubrey Sibiya, reflects on digital transformation at Graham Care Our Digital Transformation journey may be summarised as follows: Stage 1: Digitising care The initial digitisation process by implementing a digital care system, mobile device systems and digital care apps: Digital systems are implemented to support the provision of care, but these are yet to be integrated together. A digital-led care model is an aspiration, but plans are being made to work towards this. Some use of paper-based systems still exists within the home(s). Stage 2: Joining up care Joining up care by integrating with best in class specialists, collaborating with partners and de-risking the use of incompatible digital systems: ‘Best in breed’ software providers are supporting the systems and enabling interoperability between them. Data is being used to provide holistically informed decisions. Management focus has gone beyond compliance to being focussed on providing much more personalised care outcomes for residents. Stage 3: Transforming care Transforming care through data accessibility, incisive analysis and the ability to provide predicted and preventative care: This is the Care Home of the Future! Data is being used to create predictive analytics and provide preventative interventions. The power of combining data from numerous sources is being harnessed to fundamentally transform the provision of care. We are now approaching the end of Stage 2 and are developing the capability to embark on Stage 3. Digital Systems to provide real time information We have adopted the approach of using established systems in each specialist area as follows: Care Planning & Recording: www.personcentredsoftware.com Medication Management: www.invatechhealth.com Resident Sleep & Pulse/Breathing Monitoring (when in bed): www.emfit.com/nursing-homes-assisted-living www.vitalerter.com Call Bell Alerts: https://www.ensdigital.co.uk/pages/aurum-digital-nursecall and https://www.arm.uk.com/ The data from each of these systems flows into our own “data lake”. We now have specialised data scientists working on the development of the necessary algorithms to make useful predictions and identify areas of potential risk. Will Graham Digital Transformation Manager Support Centre We have set up a team of staff in a Support Centre in Addlestone, Surrey.
