Independence with Style Simple and Smart Solutions for Care

using spreadsheets. Analytics enables data visualisation that can help users spot trends at a glance, see areas of risk, and spot data anomalies that may have been hard to see in a lengthy spreadsheet. Data analytics enables better quality decisions, optimises aged care performance, drives continuous improvement, reduces risk, and offers new opportunities.

• Integration: Tech-savvy aged care organisations use a sophisticated technology stack approach to HR management comprising several systems to streamline, optimise and support HR functions across recruitment, engagement, collaboration and performance. Data must flow seamlessly between the different components of the tech stack, which is where an API comes in. Good digital platforms have a ‘Checks as a service API’ ready-built for integration with off-the-shelf and bespoke HRIS (Human Resources Information System) platforms.

• Security: Although spreadsheets have some security features such as password protection and cell locking, they do not have the security and data protection needed to protect sensitive information including workforce compliance data. Security and data protection tools must protect your business and its information. Privacy and security must be guaranteed by complying with Australian Privacy legislation and GDPR and be ISO 27001 certified for peace of mind. The best way aged care providers can feel more assured they truly ‘know their people’ is to sign up to an online platform allowing for realtime compliance monitoring of employees. n
