Seminar 2B
Medicine Management In Domiciliary Care: How Digital Can Make It Safer, Easier & More Efficient
Damian Nolan, Halton Borough Council
With carers, local authorities, GPs, pharmacists, care providers as well as family and even friends all involved the delivery of medicines to people in their homes, it is a complicated area fraught with safeguarding issues. The Social Care Digital Innovation Accelerator – run on behalf of the Local Government Association and match funded by NHS Digital – highlighted medicinal management as a key area where both safety and process could be improved, wastage could be reduced and savings could be made. Indeed around 20% of all carer time is spent understanding medication, doses and ensuring people get ‘the right meds at the right time’. So improving visibility of medicinal management across these multiple partners has real value on a number of fronts.
Halton Borough Council alongside Kent County Council, Warrington Borough Council, Newcastle and Sunderland City Councils have been working together with leading medicinal management technology specialists to unearth the challenges in the system and how using a digital approach could improve it for all involved. This session uncovers the discovery phase learning as to why partners need to work together better and how a digital approach could be a way in which this challenging area can be made both safer and more efficient.
