Located in southern Queensland, Star Gardens – Order of the Eastern Star Homes for the Aged, is a 77 bed aged care facility with a philosophy to provide care, of the highest quality, to their residents.
Facing the challenge of being a smaller facility but with a desire to demonstrate leadership in aged care, Star Gardens began to strategically implement various IT solutions including iCare’s Clinical, Care and Medication Management Solution as well as the Medical Director link.
“iCare has been an important part of our strategy to improve workflow efficiencies, manage risk and achieve organisational growth. iCare’s assistance in helping to create a culture around innovation and passion for new technologies has greatly improved staff satisfaction.
The robust solution has decreased our organisational risk, especially for medication management, by improving the contingencies for ensuring resident safety. When you add to that GP information from Medical Director we are well placed to make informed decisions for our residents’ health care needs.
When the Accreditation Agency suggests you apply for a Better Practice Award for medication management, it is a true testament to what you can achieve with iCare’s solution,” Nigel Faull, CEO concluded.
