Kate Lodge tells us about the digital innovations that were selected to support care homes .
Remote monitoring for care homes
We have been working with South Yorkshire and Bassetlaw ICS on their Digital Care Homes project . This will see the implementation of the HealthCall solution within selected early adopter care homes to improve the process of communicating key information on the health and wellbeing of the care home residents to aid better care planning and treatment .
HealthCall allows care home staff to refer patient details to an Advanced Nurse Practitioner ( ANP ) using a secure portal , in this case an app pre-installed on the care home iPad . This allows staff to remotely review , triage and refer the resident appropriately and effectively .
