TEC for Home Care Providers

A new Commission says local authorities need more support to invest in proactive technology enabled care services

Local councils across the UK risk missing key opportunities to prevent ill-health and promote independence because they lack the tools and evidence to make the investment case for preventative digital care, according to a new national Commission. 

Jointly led by the Association of Directors of Adult Social Services (ADASS) and the TEC Services Association (TSA), the Commission spoke with over 50 senior social care leaders from local authorities. 

In response, they have launched a free, practical Blueprint to help councils plan, implement and scale digital preventative care services, titled, ‘Unlocking the Power of Proactive and Preventative Care Services’.

The Blueprint captures best practice from across the UK and includes: 

A step-by-step planning and implementation guide 
A summary of proactive care service models 
Financial tools and return-on-investment guidance 
Case studies from councils already delivering successful services

Sir David Pearson, Chair of TEC Quality and Co-chair of the Commission, said: 

“Proactive and preventative services are key to helping communities thrive and easing pressure on overstretched services. This Blueprint gives councils a practical roadmap to help them take action.”

Turning intelligent data into actionable insight

Proactive digital insights of learned daily activities of individuals allows a reactive alarm functionality to notify families and social care professionals alike of any activity changes before something more critical takes place, anytime, anywhere.

Providing intelligent and integrated care to prevent more critical events from happening and allowing individuals to live safer and more independently for longer.

Suitable for the home, local authorities, domiciliary care, and residential care, and acute trusts our technology enabled care can deliver better preventative care for care providers of all sizes at a fraction of the cost of other care alternatives. This ensures budgets spread further and more care-receivers can be supported.

The Access TEC subscription model

Our Access TEC subscription model is aimed at transforming traditional alarm service provision to a model that is person centric and joined up.

What are the benefits of a subscription/service model?

Scalability - Subscriptions enable organisations to scale their services without significant upfront costs.
Predictable costs  - making it easier to budget and improve long term financial planning
Better access to up to date technology with the opportunity to replace hardware at the end of the subscription term.
Maintenance and updates - Many subscription models include maintenance, support, and regular updates. This can reduce the burden on local authorities and housing providers to manage technical aspects to ensure their service is up to date and secure.
Compliance and Security - A subscription model can include compliance features and security measures to meet legal requirements and keep personal data safe and secure.

Improving care planning with insights from Access TEC

A brand-new integration between Access Care Planning and Access TEC makes Smart Alert and Alarm data from the Access TEC Home Hub visible to care workers in the mobile app.
Understanding what has happened in between care visits will help care workers deliver the highest standards of personalised care, improving patient outcomes.

What benefits have our Access TEC customers experienced?

Carers can support up to NINE TIMES more vulnerable people with Access TEC

We have several different case studies displaying how Access TEC has helped improve quality of life. Telford and Wrekin District have been able to enable carers support up to nine times more people on night supervision shifts since they started using our Oysta devices.

"If we were still doing traditional ‘night sits’ we couldn’t support as many people as we do now which means there may have been people left without support. As a carer, I don’t like to think of people out there on their own."
