PointClickCare – Point of Care – Launching in the Hospital – Launched in the Home

April 2018 marks the onboarding month for Menno Hospital’s Point of Care software launch. This launch took place last year in Menno Home.

This person-centered platform provides a holistic view to all involved in care delivery for our residents.

Greater intelligence, shared knowlege and access to all care partners results in confident decision-making and accurate care planning. Care and service plans revolve around the resident, which means that we deliver the highest quality of care, we mitigate risk, ensure compliance and strengthen relationships.

Thank you to all of the staff who have spearheaded this tranisition from paper-based documentation to electronic documentation – thanks to Sandra Ramsey who has customized the software for our use in Menno Home and Menno Hospital. We also thank Trish Giesbrecht, Manager of Care, Hospital for her leadership and vision for the use of this software for our residents. Both Sandra and Trish attended The Summit, 2018 in November to take in education and vision for how this software can improve our care and documentation here in residential care.

A special thanks in the Hospital goes to Heidi Hildebrandt who has gone above and beyond (and will be doing so this month!) to facilitate the practical use of this software with the care teams.

As you know, our care teams are using hand-held devices to record their care services and to document in real-time. This is an exciting transition. The accuracy is incredible and the sharing of information is beyond what we have ever been able to have in the past. This will ensure quality of care for our residents and consistency regardless of who is caring for them.

What an exciting time this is! Please continue to encourage each other as we move into this new technology and as we serve our residents in this way. Let the families know about this transition so that they can join in the excitement and support you in your work.
