For
almost twenty years, the Southwestern Connecticut Agency on Aging (SWCAA) had
used a simple Access database to manage care plans for thousands of older
adults opting to remain in the community as an alternative to nursing home
care. Thanks to the support of the
Nonprofit Grant Program, SWCAA was able to develop a new database and care plan
structure to improve the quality and the efficiency of the services provided to
the Connecticut Home Care Program participants.
The new data structure allows for care plans, service authorizations and
care notes to be housed in one location.
This gives the Care Managers a 360 degree view of the participant and
the services with one click access to healthcare professionals, caregivers and
family supports. Eliminating some of the
administrative burden to the care management staff results in more time spent
helping participants meet their goals. A
secondary benefit is the structure of the data which allows SWCAA to be more
responsive to requests for specific data elements. This helps the Agency and the State analyze
the performance indicators of this Program and quantify the cost savings to the
State as participants forego premature institutional care. This project could not have been completed
without the support of the Nonprofit Grant Program. Content Last Modified on 2/1/2017 7:41:22 AM |
