We chose eCaring after an intensive search, because I found no other system that comes close to eCaring in giving us a whole new quality assurance compliance tool for management oversight.
River Falls, Wisconsin (PRWEB) August 27, 2014
eCaring, a leading health care quality company, announced today that its Web-based health care management and monitoring system is now being used by Have A Heart, Inc., a leading Wisconsin-based provider of services to physical and developmentally disabled children and adults. eCaring is supporting Have A Heart's primary goal of maintaining the best possible independence for individuals under their care.
eCaring’s transforming technology turns the Have A Heart residence into a powerful real-time source of actionable health care information. eCaring empowers Have A Heart caregivers to generate extensive amounts of clinical, behavioral and medication adherence data for each resident, which the system filters into alerts for the Have A Heart team. With eCaring, Have A Heart is able to respond immediately if a patient misses their medications, or if a wheelchair or bed bound patient has not been turned or positioned appropriately, preventing potentially serious complications. Have A Heart management and family members receive real-time alerts and can monitor care on a 24/7 basis.
“We chose eCaring after an intensive search, because I found no other system that comes close to eCaring in giving us a whole new quality assurance compliance tool for management oversight. Its ease of use and access to real-time data, which can be quickly adapted to group residential, supportive residences and community program settings, also gives families a new level of reassurance,” said Amber Carlson, executive director of Have A Heart. “Most systems that I evaluated are inflexible and require intensive staff training. With eCaring’s simple interface and responsive support staff, we had our system up and running and trained our staff a matter of days.”
“Our program with Have A Heart demonstrates how robust and flexible the eCaring system is in meeting the needs of specific patients populations,” said Robert M. Herzog, founder and CEO of eCaring. “We are pleased that our technology enables the Have A Heart team and family members to obtain the best possible care, while reducing risks and costs and providing greater peace of mind to families and patients.”
Have A Heart, is the pioneering client in the development disabilities space for eCaring and joins eCaring’s growing list of clients, which includes Senior Health Partners, Jewish Home Lifecare, Beth Israel Medical Center, and others.
