Residential Care

Improving care in care homes is a concern for both NHS and local authorities. The Enhanced Health in Care Homes (EHCH) programme is a part of the NHS Long Term Plan.

EHCH demands the nomination of GPs to care homes, to help improve responsiveness and care. Optimising care in care homes is an important element in transforming out of hospital care. Our care home health monitoring software, DOC@HOME^® can be configured specifically for care homes and their ways of working, and is aligned with the demands of EHCH. 

The monitoring of all residents enables clinicians to develop a baseline for every resident’s normal condition. Where residents do not have a need for frequent monitoring, observations are taken monthly or fortnightly. These observations enable clinicians to make better informed decisions and reduce demands on their time.
