Supercare4u.com provides medical transfers to numerous Rest Homes in Auckland. This industry is introducing a new clinical assessment ,computer-based programme, known as InterRAI, which is being introduced by the Health Minister and has insisted that all providers would start using it in June 2014, with it becoming mandatory by July 2015.
Supercare4u.com feels that this new tool will allow people in aged-care facilities across the country obtain a consistently high standard of care,and allow the benefits of such care to be published to family members.
Although the news of the earlier implementation of this programme does not please all members of the Aged Care Industry. It seems the industry needs to train around 2000 nurses to meet the requirements, but to date only around 100 nurses had completed training.
I guess there is a bit of overtime coming around.......
