Arquella and Care Vision join forces to streamline workflows for carers
ARQUELLA is pleased to announce a strategic integration with Care Vision. This groundbreaking collaboration brings together the cutting-edge technologies of both companies, to automate the integration of call and carer identification data into resident care records within Care Vision’s platform.
The result is a significant reduction in administrative burden and enhanced workflow efficiency for frontline carers.
The integration between Arquella and Care Vision marks a major milestone in the evolution of healthcare technology, empowering frontline carers to focus more on delivering exceptional care rather than time-consuming administrative tasks.
This automation eliminates manual data entry, reduces the risk of errors, and ensures that essential information is accurately and efficiently captured.
Paul Howell, CEO of Arquella, said: “The integration between Arquella and Care Vision represents a significant leap forward in revolutionising the healthcare industry, and demonstrates our commitment to capturing the moment of care.
“By seamlessly pushing call and carer ID data into resident care records, we are providing frontline carers with the tools they need to optimise their workflows and enhance the quality of care provided.
“Together, we are also delivering the depth of digital record that CQC is increasingly pushing for across safe, effective and well led.”
Rishi Jawaheer, CEO of Care Vision, added: “We are thrilled to join forces with Arquella in this transformative integration initiative.
“By automating the integration of call and carer ID data into our resident care records we are streamlining the workflows of frontline carers and enabling them to focus on what truly matters – delivering exceptional care to residents.
“The integration offers a greater depth of information at the carers fingertips than traditional nurse call solutions.
“This collaboration aligns perfectly with our commitment to revolutionising care management.”
Arquella and Care Vision have already begun implementation with selected care providers, including We Care, who plan to roll the Arquella Call/Care Vision collaboration out into all 30 homes over the next few years.
Cushion enables carers to bathe man who was afraid of water
STAFF at a Yorkshire assisted living complex can deliver dignified, safe, supported personal hygiene to a man with dementia via Aqua Liberty- a unique bathing support system
Since moving into supported accommodation and being diagnosed with dementia, staff had been unable to support a man to shower as he became distressed when the water hit his body.
The occupational therapist involved in the man’s case, Julie Snowden from Bradford District Care NHS Foundation Trust, felt there were some issues with proprioception and him feeling unsafe and disorientated when he didn’t know where his body was in space. He also needed postural support as his core stability was poor, and he benefited greatly from the feeling of being safe and ‘cocooned’.
Julie suggested trying AAT’s Aqua Liberty vacuum posture support system, hoisting him slowly into the bath with the bath cushion already in place. Aqua Liberty is the only vacuum support cushion system that fits any bath and any user. It is also unique in being developed in the UK in partnership with individuals with a disability and occupational therapists.
The lightweight adjustable system comprises a central, flexible backpiece that fits any bath. It is quick and easy to secure into position, and to remove.
Any of a range of “mix and match” vacuum posture cushions is then easily attached to the backpiece, to provide infinitely remouldable, adjustable pressure-free support for the bather.
In this case, a Comfortable Plus cushions was used. Combining a corset and seat in one, the Comfortable Plus Duo delivers correct torso and pelvis positioning, stabilising her vertically and laterally, holding her in place without pressure. By making use of vacuum technology, the cushion can be precisely altered by carers to deliver optimal comfort as needed, without pressure points.
