What is care home software?
Care home software can cover many different types of systems specifically designed for use in care homes and nursing homes. All care home software contains a variety of to carry out, automate, or improve the processes that care homes typically carry out.
Depending on the specific system, care home software functionality can help you manage processes such as planning and delivering care, administering medicines, auditing, and recruiting and managing employees.
The most common types of software for residential care homes are:
- Electronic Care Planning systems
- Rostering systems
- eMAR/Medication Management
Why do care homes need software?
Care homes need to use software because it:
- Reduces administrative burdens on staff in all roles across the home
- Frees up time so more can be spent with residents, improving standards, recruiting staff and so on.
- Increases safety for residents and staff
- Reduces costs and wastage
- Keeps resident information secure
- Can help you deliver more person-centred care
- Helps formalise, embed and maintain process in your care home
- Collects data automatically that can be used to analyse performance and risk, identify trends so that you can make more informed decisions
- Another reason care homes need software is that the UK Government is also pushing for 80% of adult social care providers to have digital care records by 2024. This is to help make integrated health and social care a reality.
How to choose the right care home software?
Choosing the right care home software will depend upon your particular aims and challenges. General steps that will help you make the right decision include:
- Avoid a management-only approach. Involving staff from all parts of the business/organisation, will help you assess the care home software from all perspectives
- For medication management systems, or eMAR, check if the system can interface with the one used by your pharmacist
- Likewise, for care planning systems for care homes, you will want a medication management system that can integrate with it
- Scalability: Pick a system that can cope with the growth of your organisation, or can be rolled out to all of your care homes. Can the supplier show you they have been able to do this elsewhere
- Think what’s best not what is cheapest. Although budget is always a factor don’t be swayed too much by price differences. The cost of implementing, removing and replacing a flawed system is much greater than the cost of a superior design that you can rely on for years.
