The UK's ageing population often raises concerns over how we will cope with greater demands on healthcare and pensions. This is why there has never been a greater need to enhance and improve facilities for care professionals across the UK. Can we as a nation cope with the rising numbers?
One of the biggest pressures faced by care professionals is paperwork, especially when it comes to managing and retrieving critical documents. Cutting down on paperwork surely helps care professionals to better comply with regulations. If ever there’s a need to investigate or audit, care homes instead of searching through a tremendous amount of paperwork this process can be made much easier with our solutions.
A study carried out by the Joseph Rowntree Foundation (JRF) has concluded that the quality of care in care homes is undermined by a paperwork ‘industry’.
One manager interviewed during the study reported spending 20% of their time on paperwork rather than on leadership activities to help ensure high-quality care for residents. Meanwhile some staff reported that they increasingly feel themselves judged primarily on their ability to produce quality paperwork rather than quality care. However, the study suggests that if used in the correct way, paperwork can help contribute to better quality care relationships and strengthen resident’s voices in the care process.
Implementing a new print and document solution might seem like a daunting task for care home managers. However, if you get the right people involved from the start and plan carefully, you will increase your probability of success significantly. Whether you are replacing an existing solution or planning for a new one, it's definitely something to consider and help you move toward a successful implementation.
Our bespoke print and document solutions are individually designed to meet the needs of your Care home and to help meet the ever-changing requirements of legal requirements.
