NCF partners with Oomph! On Demand

joined-up secure view of a person’s health and care information – at any time, whenever they need it. This information facilitates doctors, nurses, and other health and social care professionals’ involvement in a resident’s care to make better, safer and more informed decisions.

Person Centred Software’s London-based customers, namely care home providers, have been connected to the London Care Record during a trial period to help care teams provide the best possible care to their residents.

Commenting on the partnership, Andrew Coles, Chief Executive of Person Centred Software, said, ‘All in all, we see the partnership as a vital step in improving the overall quality of care within the sector while showcasing our confidence in continuing to push the boundaries of care with greater accountability and better outcomes for UK residents.’

The National Care Forum (NCF) has announced its partnership with Oomph! – the leading wellbeing provider for care settings.

The partnership offers NCF members who are new to the Oomph! On Demand digital platform two months' free access, as part of the national effort to improve rehabilitation and intermediate care and support for people leaving hospital.

The recent Government announcement regarding the £200m funding on discharging patients from acute beds into care settings to improve patient care and system flow, presents an opportunity for care home providers to demonstrate their expertise to rehabilitate people to be able to live their best lives.

A well-designed rehabilitation or intermediate care service can improve people’s health and wellbeing outcomes, reduce hospital admissions and re-admissions, reduce delayed discharges and prevent an unnecessary length of stay in hospital.

The Oomph! On Demand digital platform enables care workers to create bespoke rehabilitation plans for people living in care so they can take part in specialist activity programmes to expedite their recovery and return to good health.

The programmes are developed specifically to the person’s individual needs and interests and include wellbeing, mental health, dementia and nutrition, empowering care homes to put expert rehabilitation plans in place. Furthermore, Oomph! On Demand links to Electronic Care Systems and includes a detailed reporting function to measure and demonstrate rehabilitation outcomes for people.
