On the ground at ACCPA
We have caught up with conference delegates about a new tech-based solution for home care, and opportunities for allied health and technology to support reforms.
Aged care provider Anglicare Southern Queensland and Australian aged care tech company Umps Health have teamed up to codesign a solution that enhances home care client accessibility and experience.
The solution – undergoing a second larger trial with 55 home care recipients – allows older people to communicate with Anglicare SQ about service scheduling by talking directly to the Umps smart home hub. Clients also receive reminders about their services via the hub.
Outcomes include a reduction in client call centre inquiries, improved response times to client enquiries and improved client satisfaction, Umps Health chief executive officer Adam Jahnke and Anglicare SQ CEO and executive director Sue Cooke told Australian Ageing Agenda at the Aged & Community Care Providers conference in Adelaide this week.
Here Mr Jahnke and Ms Cooke talk outline the project and the solution they have developed:
