Aย unique and innovativeย learning managementย software system developed by the social care technology provider,ย iCareHealth, claims to provide industry professionals with unprecedentedย access to a wide range of practicalย resources that can help with advancing the necessaryย skills andย daily activities of care staff.
Theย Electronic Medication Management systemย claims toย enableย care professionalsย to manage records of each medicationย home residents are provided with;ย in addition to loggingย other observationsย in a ‘clear and accurate’ audit trail. By implementing the software, care homes will also be able to communicate via a messaging system with pharmacies, allowing both parties toย send online messagesย and notifyย pharmacistsย of a changed medication or a new order.
CEO ofย iCareHealth,ย Rohan Vendy, commentsย on the new software system:ย โEvery time a new process is put in place or changed, training needs to happen. Yet upskilling staff in new processes, policies and technologies is expensive and hard to manage.โ
Furthermore, other key features of the software include: stock inventory management, incorporatingย efficientย toolsย toย effectively manage stock levelsย and drug disposal,ย allowingย access to an electronic stock file that is updated in real time, meanwhile reducing drug wastage; an ‘alerts and warnings’ setting โย helping to ensure care staff are inย complianceย with the safest medication administration procedures; and an ‘eLearning and Competency Management’ feature, presenting managers with the ability to manage ‘simple, intuitive’ workflows and monitor theย progressย each individualย is making towards training compliance.ย ย
