Information about this solution

"Designed to manage, sustain and evidence person-centred care, and offered as a cloud based software as a service (SaaS) solution, PASS provides comprehensive real-time care management features for care providers across all settings.

The Social Care Institute for Excellence (SCIE) undertook an independent review of PASS and found a broad range of benefits including:

  • Delivering better quality care
  • Increased accountability
  • Improved risk management
  • Realising operational efficiencies.

From initial assessment, PASS delivers truly person-centred care with key features including bespoke care plans and documentation, assessments, and access to GP records.

A shared view of care is available through openPASS, our portal for the service user, families and friends and allied care professionals."

"A typical customer will be up-and-running with PASS within 30 days of contract signature. For larger projects, and taking into account factors such as digital readiness, staff availability and the scope of the required PASS solution, we will work with you to define the optimal approach and confirm project timescales at the start.

With a proven track record in onboarding new customers, our dedicated team of Project Managers has developed a robust and effective approach for implementation based on a pragmatic application of PRINCE2 methods.

We encourage a collaborative approach between our team and yours and advocate for the provider to nominate an implementation champion.

Our training methodology is flexible, and can be tailored to meet your specific needs, availability and preferred learning styles. Online, face-to-face, group and self service training are blended into a personalised training package. For larger projects we typically employ a ‘train the trainer’ approach."
