-Beanbag awarded position on Homecare Monitoring & Scheduling Solutions framework 394_19
Property technology specialists Secure has announced that its Beanbag Care solution has been awarded a position on ESPO’s Homecare Monitoring and Scheduling Solutions framework.
Beanbag Care Quality Assured is a connected home (or internet of things) solution that improves carer decision making, and delivery and quality through remote home monitoring as well as feedback.
For the first time, Beanbag Care has combined the traditional digital scheduling and monitoring used by local authorities and care providers with new, real-time quality of care monitoring technology, gathering information via a web-enabled tablet.
This allows local authorities and care providers to proactively measure the frequency and standard of care received by an individual carer at any time. It then allows this data to be further shared with the Care Quality Commission (CQC) as part of the audit procedure.
Uniquely, Beanbag Care Quality Assured also enables the user’s family and loved ones to check that care has been delivered. This is done via a smartphone app and tablet, respectively, through which they can also leave feedback.
Local authority adult care and housing providers are increasingly recognising the significance of remote home monitoring technology as a means of allowing older people to remain safely in their own homes for longer, whilst maintaining care standards in the face of an increasingly ageing population.
The technology also helps tackle social isolation amongst older residents with an easy-to-use friends and family video calling interface, allowing them to quickly connect with a community of pre-programmed contacts of their choosing.
ESPO is a public sector-owned professional buying organisation (PBO), and has been specialising in providing a wide range of goods and services to the public sector for over 35 years. ESPO services over 200,000 UK public sector customers a year, including those in education, local authority and government, NHS and emergency services, charities and social landlords.
Nigel Ebdon, Market Development Manager at Secure, says: “Beanbag Care being awarded a position on ESPO’s Homecare Monitoring and Scheduling Solutions Framework is an exciting step for what we believe is an innovative evolution in the care for older people.”
The beauty of Beanbag Care is in its simplicity, both for the operator and the user, and crucially, the user’s family.
The system captures notifications related to aspects of a carer’s attendance without bias, before automating tailored reports on the quality of the care for all relevant parties.
This information can then be used in a variety of ways, but most importantly to improve the quality of care and the well-being of the user whilst delivering evidence-driven efficiency for the operator, and peace of mind for the user’s family.
He concludes: “Looking at the bigger picture, Beanbag Care and its other care solutions are all about allowing older people to safely live in their own homes for longer, whilst more intelligently managing, deploying and improving precious care resources”.
