Enliven is moving to a digital system for managing all aged and community care services, thanks to the introduction of Procura.
It will provide a paperless working environment for carers by moving everything, including patient information and data, onto an electronic system. Enliven Director Julia Russell, says she is excited for the opportunity to introduce a new way of working to the organisation.
“Currently every note, every file, everything we do is paper based, except medication. There are often risks for double ups or missing notes,” Julia explains. Procura provides the ability to create a seamless system across the board.
As technology rapidly evolves, choosing the right provider is vital to the success of a new file management system. Procura is written on the latest platforms and integrates nicely with Medimap (medication management system). “If you can use Medimap, you can use Procura,” says Julia, but training will be put in place for staff.
“We’re the only organisation in New Zealand using the full system, and the only ones with a medical management system fully integrated into our resident care system.”
“It’s transformational,” Julia explains. This new technology will allow staff to utilise time more effectively as well as ensuring all documents are updated in real time.
Implementation of the system began in May.
