“Our staff’s anxiety has decreased because they now have an instant support system to which they can reach out and get an immediate response”
– Genettia D. Administrator
CHALLENGES
Keeping track of residents’ information
The team used the telephone, fax machine, and a clipboard with their concerns. Information was very difficult to track. Due to unorganized information, team members struggled to keep track of resident needs.
Delays in communication over important health updates
The process of following all residents and staying updated with their status was difficult. The progress and report of residents were shared once a day and critical decision-making was often delayed because of slow updates.
Team collaboration fell behind
The team had no collaboration on the whole. Updating each other was a hassle. While taking care of the residents, the staff was on their own and had less support.
Solution
Streamlined flow of communication
With Hucu.ai, communication takes place on one platform and information is easy to track now. The needs of residents are met quickly and they seldom have to readdress something that has been discussed on Hucu.ai because it is done in real-time.
Constant staff engagement
With Hucu.ai, following all residents at the facility and staying updated on what the staff is doing 24/7 is just one tap away. Information and guidance is present 24/7 in real time, so the staff can identify and catch symptoms early on via video call on Hucu.ai.
Greater team collaboration
Genettia shared how just over the weekend, two residents were having an exacerbation of COPD and she was able to help and have interventions in place in time because of Hucu.ai. She thought that one of the residents may still have to go to a hospital but with the doctor’s and team’s collaboration on the Hucu.ai app, they were able to avoid that.
Reduced staff anxiety
Staff is more confident with constantly available support from Hucu.ai. This has boosted their morale.
Better patient care
Hucu.ai has allowed their staff to immediately respond over resident needs, thereby building on the quality of care they provide to their residents.
“Our ER and return to hospital is virtually zero because we have real-time care, through Hucu.ai. Our resident care is much improved. Our residents are much happier, our families are much happier, our staff’s much happier.” – Genettia Dean | Administrator
