Alcedo Care & OneTouch
When Alcedo decided to make the switch over to OneTouch, one of the most important aspects of the transition was staff buy-in.
Alcedo believed it was imperative that staff knew how to use the software and understand the difference it could make to the operation.
"People get used to a way of doing things and obviously have questions and concerns when software is changed because it’s not what they’re used to. So that element of training was important to us and I think overall, the transition was smooth considering it was such a big task"
What was the challenge?
Alcedo Care was previously using two systems, an electronic monitoring system and a separate rostering system which wasn’t as user friendly as the team had hoped, which led them to make the move to OneTouch care management software where everything is in one place.
It was important that everything be on one system to avoid errors, duplications and miscommunications between systems.
The team wanted to
Communicate easily with each other
Reaching those with busy schedules and checking whether messages had been received
Streamline processes to improve efficiencies
All information in one place, rather than across various platforms
More visibility and control over client care
Instant notification of missed medication and other care quality aspects
Centralise all staff and client information
Data easily found for reporting purposes and a fully compliant process
How OneTouch Helped
By streamlining their processes with OneTouch, Alcedo Care aimed to continue delivering high-quality care while increasing operational efficiency. Critical areas such as invoicing, rostering, and administrative tasks were made easier and more efficient, while ensuring that the transition did not disrupt day-to-day care services.
Rosie said: “It was important to us that while transitioning to OneTouch, our day-to-day service wasn’t interrupted. We needed to continue delivering safe, efficient care. Although it was a larger project than we initially anticipated, the training from OneTouch was excellent, and the team was very responsive to our needs.”
The finance team also benefited from OneTouch’s streamlined processes. Jo, Alcedo’s Finance Director, noted: "It's changed the way we work. Previously, the homecare team would sign off the previous week’s shifts on a Monday, but now everything is authorised daily. It’s proven to be much faster and easier."
