Homecare Monitoring

The Supplier Solution shall support the Council in monitoring the quality and performance of Care Providers' delivery of Homecare services, and inform the Council's commissioning processes through market insight, analysis and management information. At an individual Service User level, the Supplier Solution shall support staff in social care teams when reviewing care assessments and support plans, and support the Council when investigating complaints from Service Users about the services they have received from Care Providers. The Supplier Solution shall interface with Care Providers' various third-party scheduling and electronic call monitoring systems in order to capture, analyze and report data on the Planned Visits and Actual Visits made by Careworkers. Wherever possible the Supplier Solution shall interface directly with the various third-party systems, allowing for data capture to be as close as possible to the real-time that Visit Starts and Visit Ends occur. Where a direct interface is not possible, the Supplier Solution will allow Care Providers to regularly (at least weekly) upload a data extract from their third-party systems to the Supplier Solution. The data upload must be a simple and straightforward process which can be undertaken by non-technical staff, and not be excessively time consuming to complete.
