The American eldercare community is comprised of dedicated professionals who operate under strict budgetary restrictions and chronic personnel shortages to attend to some of the most vulnerable members of our society. As such, it has become imperative for care managers to discover and implement cutting-edge procedural innovations that will streamline their current operations and better prepare them for the influx of aging Baby Boomers, which is poised to overwhelm this already beleaguered industry in the coming years.
In this capacity, professionals in this field can benefit from the same technological advancements that are gradually being embraced by the healthcare system in general. Previously, we touched upon an extensive report conducted by the Commonwealth Fund that covered three pilot programs focused on the advantages of telehealth – i.e. digital devices that perform functions such as remote monitoring – in a medical setting.
One of the most significant takeaways from the review is that the increased adoption of technology-enabled medical and eldercare solutions can reap substantial benefits for administrators and care recipients alike.
"Telehealth data can have a positive impact on patient care when placed in the hands of motivated clinicians and patients. The real-time transmission of monitoring data, for example, allows nurses to provide patients with just-in-time care and education," the report states.
Independa's innovative approach to eldercare capitalizes on these advances to address the challenges that care managers face on a daily basis. Via our Caregiver Web App, these professionals can monitor their recipients from a centralized dashboard that can be accessed remotely. Plus, our Angela interface allows home-based individuals and residents of independent living communities to reach out to their care providers and loved ones immediately with video chat, Facebook and email.
