“I feel like I won the lottery,” exclaimed Keith, a Wausau resident living independently. “I was really good at the bubble-popping game and I love that they put my game shows on there.”

WEST BEND, Wis. (PRWEB)
June 02, 2023

GrandCare Systems, LLC has announced a partnership with Opportunity Inc., a disability service provider headquartered in Wausau, Wisconsin. Opportunity Inc. currently serves clients in Marathon, Portage, and Wood Counties. Opportunity Inc. sees GrandCare as a way to amplify their current support staff while enabling their clients to become more independent and self-reliant. In addition to helping the client, the GrandCare touchscreen will also serve as a support team coordination tool, provide an onsite staff check-in, support team tasks and education, plus allow for remote video chat check-ins when an onsite visit isn’t necessary.

Opportunity Inc. have identified individuals living independently who will benefit from reminders, simple white-listed video chat and messaging, task-list prompting, and instructional videos such as how to make favorite foods or run the dishwasher.

“I am impressed with Opportunity Inc.’s visionary and forward-thinking approach to better support while improving an individual’s skills to take care of themselves,” said GrandCare CEO, Laura Mitchell. “GrandCare doesn’t replace support staff, but instead amplifies existing staff to be more productive and serve a greater population in a streamlined and more meaningful way.”

“We are redesigning the way our clients receive help and support,” said Opportunity Inc. Executive Director, Sara Satterfield. “We can customize the GrandCare system to remind clients of tasks such as taking medications, showers, and even to watch GrandCare-provided step-by-step videos on food preparation, such as how to make a simple grilled cheese sandwich. Support staff can sign in on a touchscreen when they arrive onsite and see a full care plan and enter caregiving notes, including charting and documenting progress on care plan activities.” Sara added, “I like that support staff are able to access the GrandCare system onsite or remotely. Administrators can review client documentation remotely as well, to assure the completion of tasks per a client’s person-centered support plan.”

“I feel like I won the lottery,” exclaimed Keith, a Wausau resident living independently. “I was really good at the bubble-popping game and I love that they put my game shows on there.”

In addition to supporting residents with activities of daily living, GrandCare can offer a simpler way to communicate with family and provide fun engagement for the resident through a collection of streaming music, audio books, jokes, old time radio programs, engaging games, favorite videos and more. Opportunity Inc. residents receive a personalized GrandCare touchscreen in their apartments programmed with their medication schedule, to do tasks, weather reports, one-touch video chat to family and support staff, plus personal hobbies including sports videos, family photos and music.

ABOUT GRANDCARE SYSTEMS

Since 2005, GrandCare has built a comprehensive, robust and reliable touch-based remote monitoring and telehealth platform to promote independence and health for individuals who wish to be more self-sufficient. The heart of GrandCare is a large touchscreen appliance, which provides the individual with self-directed supports, to do tasks, entertainment, medication prompts, detailed instructional “how to” videos, one button check-ins and simple video chat/messaging.

Transitions of Care Sub-Specialty Certification

Healthcare systems adopting HCQM certification recognize their multidisciplinary medical staff are dedicated to improving transitions of care and the overall quality of healthcare to their patients and identified family caregivers.

NEW PORT RICHEY, Fla. (PRWEB)
June 02, 2023

The National Transitions of Care Coalition (NTOCC) and the American Board of Quality Assurance and Utilization Review Physicians (ABQAURP) are partnering to endorse and support health care professionals across the continuum of care in showing the importance of their work by gaining sub-specialty certification in Transitions of Care (TOC). Improving transitions of care is a Continuous Quality Improvement (CQI) initiative and health care professionals are encouraged to secure certification that supports their commitment, knowledge, experience, measurement, and research to improving transitions.

The Health Care Quality and Management (HCQM) Certification validates a professional’s understanding of high-quality health care practices. When medical staff successfully complete the HCQM Exam, they are able to attain a sub-specialty certification in transitions of care. Health care systems adopting this certification recognize their multidisciplinary medical staff (physicians, nurse practitioners, pharmacists, nurses, social workers, allied health professionals, etc.) are dedicated to improving transitions of care and the overall quality of healthcare to their patients and identified family caregivers.

Health care leaders continue to implement various transitions and care management models of care, sometimes a single model but more often a combination of several models. Accountable care organizations and integrated health delivery systems look to initiatives focused on transitions and care management that will support building integrated models of care with their networks and community.

Each transition and care management initiative is based on developing collaborative care teams, enhancing their ability to communicate across levels of care, creating transition care plans and sharing information not only among themselves but with the patients and family caregivers they serve. Believing that TOC initiatives have consistent themes, the following seven (7) elements of the NTOCC Transition Care Bundle support a guideline to improving transitions and care management across the continuum of care.

-Medication Management Services & Management

-Transition Planning

-Patient and Family Caregiver Engagement & Education

-Information Transfer

-Follow Up Care

-Healthcare Provider Engagement & Shared Accountability Across the Healthcare Continuum

-Physical Health, Mental Health/SUD and Social Determinants of Health Triune

Assessing and implementing these elements as a guideline means the interdisciplinary team at each level of care must communicate, work together, and remain committed to improving transitions and care coordination. With this in mind, health care organizations are encouraged to support their multidisciplinary care teams with a certification program that demonstrates to internal and external entities that your group, hospital, post-acute facility, and staff are accountable.

ABQAURP’s Core Body of Knowledge (CBK) course provides the support of quality management and patient safety education inclusive of transitions of care to prepare healthcare professionals for the HCQM Certification Examination. Another advantage to certification is organizations can have their staff prepare, communicate, and share concepts as a multidisciplinary team taking the CBK and achieving the certification recognition as a team.

“It takes a village” to impact and improve transitions of care. It is about time to recognize the commitment and excellence that care teams bring to the delivery of patient care services and coordination by taking the step forward for certification of quality management and transitions of care. Each healthcare professional can proudly display their achievement by displaying the certified digital CHCQM-TOC badge highlighting their professional knowledge and experience in quality transitions of care.

Organizations are able to show that their transitional care teams are certified and that they have the highest possible standards for their care teams. Hospitals, post-acute facilities, and outpatient clinics can show they are dedicated through certification to improving the overall quality of health care and transitions support to the populations they serve.

For complete information about the ABQAURP certification program, please visit: http://www.abqaurp.org/Certification.
