Enhancing Care Capacity and Patient Outcomes

As we gear up for the challenging winter, a recent report by the County Councils Network (CCN) and Newton, sheds light on critical strategies to optimise our health and social care systems. This report delves into the pressing need to improve patient flow, reduce unnecessary hospital admissions among our vulnerable adults, and streamline discharges—a topic of key importance, especially during these demanding times. 

The report emphasises a shift from short-term residential care beds towards more holistic solutions, advocating for increased investment in home-based care, community services, and reablement programs. This change in approach aims to preserve independence while providing tailored care to individuals over 65, ultimately enhancing their quality of life and reducing associated costs. 

Aligning with these goals, allow us to introduce GenieConnect®—an innovative platform poised to alleviate care capacity by up to 20%. GenieConnect® is not just a piece of innovative technology; it’s a paradigm shift in how we approach health and social care by imbedding Remote Care as part of a hybrid care approach. 

This cutting-edge platform harnesses the power of advanced technologies to optimise care provision. GenieConnect® employs insight-led decisions through its analytics of care needs, scheduling tasks and daily living prompts to streamline care. GenieConnect® offers remote video calls as an alternative or addition to face-to-face visits, breaking down barriers of the harshest of weathers, road closures and rural areas. Leveraging insights-led modelling ensures efficient and compliant resource allocation, empowering care professionals to make informed decisions and proactively respond to those who need it most, reducing unnecessary hospital admissions significantly. 

The integration of GenieConnect® aligns seamlessly with the objectives highlighted in the recent report. By empowering councils and care providers with the delivery of Remote Care, we can expand reablement and rehabilitation services, ensuring a proactive and personalised approach to meeting the needs of our vulnerable population.
