OptiCare works by importing data from your existing systems and analysing this using sophisticated algorithms developed specifically for the Health and Social Care home care sector. The analysis is tailored to the specific business rules and requirements of each home care organisation.
| 1) The demand Who are the Customers Where they need care to be delivered How much care What care is required |
2) The available resources Who are the Care Workers Where they live Where they work When they work How much they work Their skills, attributes and qualifications |
| 3) The constraints Continuity of care Breaks in programme Travel payments Working time regulations Pay enhancements |
4) The objective Maximise contact time Minimise cost Reduce travel time Enhance continuity of Care Workers Improve punctuality |
OptiCare matches available staffing resources against customer demand taking full account of each organisation’s operating rules and weighted against identified objectives, such as reducing operating costs or maximising the amount of contact time.
The completed analysis then quantifies the benefits of the recommended improvements.
