Combining technology with outstanding care
At Ethicare, we do not believe that technology will ever replace the need for locally managed, highly personalised care from amazing people. However, we do invest heavily in ensuring that our home care service is at the forefront of progression in our industry and that we benefit from the use of safe, effective technology where it can demonstrably improve the well-being of our clients and their families.
There are many examples of how we use technology to underpin how we deliver our home care services from scheduling and managing care visits, to helping monitor health outcomes, to enabling our carers, clients, families and health professionals to be better connected.
Our care management app
Our secure care management app is the digital system we use to manage all of your care records and significantly improves how information is shared across and between services, families and loved ones. It provides you, your carers, your loved ones, our care management team and health professionals with instant access to your most up-to-date care records and a simple way to communicate with your care team.
Our professional carers access our app through their mobile phone allowing them and your local care management team to have immediate access to your latest care records. This not only helps in maintaining the safety of your care and ensuring tasks are completed, but it also allows us to more effectively monitor the health outcomes of your care and work to prevent incidents.
