Access Care and Clinical

"Access Care and Clinical provides rich functionality to allow you to provide high quality care and ensure your services are fully compliant. Client configurable assessment, risk and care planning templates allow clients to plan for care based on their policies, their location and the specific needs, goals and risks of their residents, ensuring care plans reflect you and your organisation. Our point of care application allows for mobile care evidencing at the point of care, meaning staff are notified of scheduled care and can evidence care provided (as well as review profile and care plans) in an intuitive way at the resident’s side. Finally, management reporting, proactive alerts and actions ensure that missed evidencing and potential risks are flagged for action quickly, dramatically improving the quality of care provision.”
