123 Government reforms begin now
Over the next few years, residential care for the elderly (RAC) will change dramatically. While the full impact of the Royal Commission will radically reform the industry, other factors significantly affect the industry.
The 123 reforms accepted by the Royal Commission government are currently being implemented. Now is not the time to settle for how, for example, to effectively report 200 minutes of care to meet compliance requirements.
The key to successfully navigating this period of change will be entirely based on how vendors manage their data and information.
Consolidation and competition are now accelerating
The sector has consolidated by around 30% over the past ten years and will continue this trend. At the same time, the competition for every consumer increases and their needs and expectations continue to become more sophisticated.
The government-backed trend of staying home instead of moving into RAC until essential, will grow. Consumers enter RAC at higher acuity levels and stay shorter.
All of this means that the sector will become more of a subacute or stopgap offering, requiring extensive data management and reporting.
How does it all relate to analysis? Complexity, occupation and business prospects.
RAC is a very complex industry. Whether it is funding instruments, movements, legislation or quality standards, everything is complicated. And likely to become so more, not less.
And we can safely say that occupation is pivotal to the viability of any RAC business. Understanding the “front end†of your RAC business will be crucial. Not just from a CRM-based workflow perspective, but from an analytical perspective.
Who are you missing? What is your addressable market? Who is most likely to make the decision regarding the potential entry of their relative into your establishment?
Can you confidently answer these and other questions?
To even tackle these kinds of questions, you have to commit to being a “data-driven organizationâ€. Once you’ve made that jump, everything else will have a chance to fall into place.
Ask yourself how many of our decisions (operational and otherwise) that you make on a daily basis are actually data driven?
Government expectation
The government intends to create a link between quality, governance, compliance, technology and data and financing.
The data landscape this will cover includes, but is not limited to, the accountability that surrounds 200 minutes per day, nutrition, incidents, polypharmacy, and specific pharmaceutical deployment.
For example, from July 1st 2022 (within eight months), residential care providers will be required to report and publish health care staff minutes for each facility on the MyAgedCare website, and providers will be required to report residents and their families to residents and their families. care provided.
The right software system can make reporting and compliance easier.
Quality data capture
Capturing quality data is fundamental. As a supplier, you either capture all data points or you don’t.
And if you aren’t, you won’t be able to scale and manage future demands for company information. This includes your ability to stay compliant.
Data and the generation of useful analytical information are essential to maximize care delivery and service outcomes.
