NevaAlone Medical Alarms give peace of mind all round

Posted on by Lauren Turner

ADT Security’s NevaAlone Medical Alarm helps users lead a safer and more independent lifestyle.

Produced by ADT Security, the medical alarm features a HELP button that is connected to ADT’s highly trained NevaAlone support team who are available 24/7, 365 days a year should the user need emergency assistance or require an ADT Security Guard to conduct a security check around their property.

eReferrals can be made to NevaAlone Medical Alarms using CareSelect.

ADT Security third party relationship manager Darlene Sanderson says NevaAlone Medical Alarms, which are available nationwide, give peace of mind to users and family members, who can rest assured that help is immediately accessible.

“People who are elderly, live alone, have a medical condition or disability, or are prone to falls will feel so much safer knowing that help is available by simply pressing a button,” Darlene says.

“The alarm can be used 24/7, creating a safety net for users looking to maintain their independence. It also gives family members confidence that their loved ones have help readily available in case of an emergency.”

Help dispatched quickly

The alarm can be worn as a pendant or wristwatch or can be activated by pressing a button on the alarm unit. The alarm signal works via a landline or cellular network and operates within range from anywhere in or around the house.

Once the button is pressed, the person is immediately connected to the ADT call centre, where a trained professional will assess the situation, dispatching help if required. Family members are also notified.

A GPS alarm is a private offering that works when the user leaves the house. If they have a fall while wearing the alarm, the device’s fall detection feature will automatically notify the call centre who can arrange for medical assistance.

“The GPS alarm can not only be used at home, but also when the user is away. For example, if they take the dog for a walk, ADT can locate them if they need assistance.”

Alarms to suit different needs

ADT Security is a Ministry of Social Development (MSD) accredited medical alarm provider. If a person qualifies, the NevaAlone Medical Alarm can be partly or fully funded through the Work and Income (WINZ) Disability Allowance.

A free lock box is installed outside the user’s home so paramedics can enter the house in an emergency; the cost of an ambulance callout is also covered for all users.

Darlene says different alarm products are recommended depending on each person’s personal situation and circumstances.

“ADT undertakes an in-home demonstration and a thorough needs analysis to determine which product is best for each individual.”

Darlene notes that ADT’s trained professionals can even identify if a person is feeling lonely or isolated if they are activating the alarm to simply have a chat with call centre staff.

“Sometimes a user just needs assurance or is looking to talk to someone because they are feeling lonely. If it’s a regular occurrence, we will reach out to local community organisations to see if they can help.”

Private Care NZ: Home is where the heart is

Posted on by Lauren Turner

No one should have to leave behind the home they love, their belongings and a lifetime of memories just because they need extra care.

Private Care NZ, part of the New Zealand Health Group, offers a range of 24/7 services nationwide to support anyone with health and wellness needs to affordably stay in their own home for longer.

Private Care NZ can provide home help, palliative care, personal care, medication management, dementia care, respite care, companionship and even postnatal home support for new families.

eReferrals can now be made to Private Care NZ using HealthLink’s CareSelect service, making it easier for GPs to make a referral and for patients to receive the care they need.

New Zealand Health Group Managing Director Josephine Gagan says it’s important people have an option to stay in their own home if they wish to.

“Often, people really love their own home, have lots of special memories and don’t want to move out. Private Care NZ enables them to receive the support they need without having to move into a new and unfamiliar environment,” she says.

“We’ve had families say that they couldn’t have kept their loved ones at home without our extra support.”

High standard of care 

Josephine says Private Care NZ’s carers and registered nurses are all highly trained and can cater to a patient’s specific needs and preferences.

“Because Private Care NZ is part of the largest homecare group, patients can access services that some smaller operators might not have. We can pull in extra resources, and our pool of carers is much larger.”

Being privately funded means there are no long waiting lists. Their team makes every day easier for their patients by focusing on their needs and preferences, adapting to changes, and working closely with families to create a circle of care.

Private Care NZ also sells affordable, high-quality homecare products to make every day easier for people in their own homes.

How to refer to Private Care NZ:  

  • open the patient record

  • select the HealthLink icon

  • use the CareSelect search bar, and type “Private Care NZ”

  • click “Compose Referral”.

Dictate.IT Attends EMIS National User Group Conference & Exhibition 2022

Posted on by Lauren Turner

Dictate.IT was thrilled to attend the EMIS National User Group Conference & Exhibition 2022, held on 29th June – 1st July 2022 at York Racecourse.

The EMIS National User Group (EMIS NUG) is a non-profitmaking organisation set up to improve the use of health information. EMIS NUG operate completely separately and independently from EMIS and support members to get the best possible use out of their computer system by providing training and educational materials. The EMIS NUG group has over 1,400 member practices, representing GPs, nurses, and practice managers.

Dictate.IT’s speech recognition solutions integrate seamlessly with EMIS, so this was a great opportunity for them to demonstrate their 99% accurate speech recognition solution and how it can benefit practice staff, from GP’s to Secretaries.

It’s been great to chat to EMIS users to understand how Dictate.IT speech recognition solutions can help them on a day-to-day basis. Speaking is not just faster than typing, it’s more detailed. So when EMIS users are dictating their patient notes, they become more comprehensive as well as saving the clinician time.

Weston General Hospital goes live with Bluespier Theatres

Posted on by Lauren Turner

A fully-integrated electronic theatre management system has gone live at Weston General Hospital.  The hospital rolled out Bluespier Theatres across its six operating theatres, replacing their previous system, Opera.

The success at the Trust is the culmination of a programme of work to align processes and systems across hospital sites after Weston Area Health NHS Trust and University Hospitals Bristol merged to create University Hospitals Bristol and Weston NHS Foundation Trust (UHBW) last year.

With a seamless integration with the Trust’s electronic patient record (EPR) system CareFlow from System C, elective and emergency theatre bookings can be easily scheduled and managed and the wider theatre record can be accessed directly from within CareFlow, allowing for end-to-end management of the theatre journey.

Electronic patient tracking will enable the Trust to better monitor, manage and improve their utilisation and theatre efficiency through easily accessible data and reports.

Mike Ledbury, UHBW’s Digital Convergence Programme Director,  said: “The project implementation was seamless, on time and to budget and benefitted from a good, flexible working relationship between the Trust, Bluespier and System C.  Bluespier has great benefits, is well used at our Bristol sites and fits with the strategic objectives of the Trust – we look forward to using it extensively going forward to help us ultimately improve theatre care for patients.

Stuart van Rooyen, Managing Director at Bluespier, said: “This has been an excellently executed project thanks to the talent and diligence of the Trust staff, Bluespier and System C representatives.  We understand the pressures that hospitals are under, particularly after a Trust merger, and are very proud that our solutions play a part in improving efficiency and patient care.”

After a successful piloting phase and a gradual release out to customers we are delighted to announce that One-Click Dispensing is now available for all customers. We would like to thank the RxWeb User Group for their valuable insights and feedback. Our user group has always helped put our customers at the centre of any piece of development we release.

Dictate.IT Attends Future Health Summit in Ireland

Posted on by Lauren Turner

On 18th and 19th May 2022 Dictate.IT attended Future Health Summit, held at RDS, Dublin.

Across the 2 days, Future Health Summit attendees heard from Irish thought leaders and international health care decision makers, who shared best practice and innovations to improve the future of healthcare in Ireland.

With innovation in mind, Dictate.IT was there to demonstrate its innovative speech recognition solution, designed to bring efficiency to healthcare organisations by saving time and improving quality.

We were showing attendees just how accurate our speech recognition solution is by offering live, on-the-spot demonstrations; allowing attendees to say any medical terminology they liked! The solution worked perfectly and really helped to show that speech recognition has come a long way in recent years, meaning it’s now an excellent option for healthcare professionals trying to save time.
