Screen Shot 2013-01-10 at 2.50.42 PMWithin home care, elderly care, youth care, care for the disabled and mental health care, care providers often have few digital resources to quickly find the right information on how to act, to quickly gain access to team information, so that it is easy to transfer work, quickly coordinate things or quickly find colleagues. Most of them do not have a PC or tablet and if a mobile device is available, the above is not or insufficiently possible. As a Frankwatching reader, you will have guessed the solution: with a social intranet and digital mobile work environment, the care provider, provided it is specifically set up for him or her, will be able to do much more work efficiently.
Within such a mobile social work environment, healthcare providers can, for example, use a PC, tablet or mobile phone to:
Have protocols quickly at your fingertips;
Carrying out work transfers around a client;
Have a team meeting;
Sharing and coordinating matters;
Coordinating with client and family;
Have access to timetables and routes;
Find colleagues and see if they are currently japan phone data available;
Easily gain access to all kinds of other applications such as back-end and electronic client file (ECD);
This is of course not an inexhaustible list. The most important advantages for the care provider are that they can do their work better, deliver quality and be of more value to their clients. There are clear advantages to be gained for the care institution. Information provision from the offices and from the team management becomes more personal, the care provider will feel more connected, can work more efficiently, without sacrificing quality and there is more room for cooperation with informal care (such as family) and with the client themselves, and therefore for activities that are carried out by clients and family.
So much for the promises. You may be wondering if there is any evidence that this actually works. The answer is that some healthcare institutions have recently started doing.
