Why do you need a software solution?

Nowadays, all healthcare organisations - ranging from startups to private clinics and GP surgeries, all the way to hospital trusts - are reliant on software solutions to ensure that operations run smoothly. Healthcare, whilst providing a vital service by meeting the health requirements of the general public, also has to bear financial considerations in mind. That’s why proper management, with the right software in place, is a must. It’s unfeasible to imagine that today’s healthcare agencies could provide an effective service, carry out all the necessary checks when recruiting new staff and managing training, stay on top of paperwork, and maintain all-important regulatory compliance without relying on automated solutions. 

What features should a good solution have?

Deciding on which solution will best meet the needs of your business depends on a number of factors: most importantly, what does the provider require?

There are usually two answers that are common to all health providers: 

  1. More healthcare staff
  2. More resources for front line care

A good HR and Compliance solution for any healthcare provider should:

  • automate the majority of administrative and bureaucratic processes
  • simplify paperwork
  • reduce or eliminate potential for patient harm 
  • make operations more efficient
  • ensure regulatory compliance 
  • reduce administration costs (the best software pays for itself within 1 year) and 
  • make life easier

Some of the top healthcare software solutions available on the market today tick most of these boxes. But if you’re looking for a solution which is a cut above the rest, has been designed by medical professionals with the needs of the healthcare sector in mind, comes complete with a comprehensive package of support from expert staff and is guaranteed to meet the needs of your organisation, then Credentially’s automated platform is the answer.

At Credentially, we offer a flexible solution for healthcare providers which can do all of these things and more. Our automated platform will enable you to master the complexities of hiring, on-boarding and compliance and move seamlessly from paper to digital records, whilst integrating with existing systems and databases you may already have in place. 

How Credentially’s healthcare software can help you

With our platform, you will be able to:

  • hire faster
  • control costs
  • reduce admin
  • scale processes and
  • maintain compliance.

Our healthcare software solution offers everything you need to run your operations smoothly, including:

  • automation of manual work for healthcare administrators
  • automatic verification of professional qualifications
  • fast and easy sign-up for healthcare staff
  • improved patient safety with automated failsafes 
  • powerful integrations with key healthcare databases and
  • lower cost through automation.

What does this mean for you and your organisation? Well, it means that you will reap the rewards of a more efficient system which has been designed to meet the specific needs of your business, with benefits including:

  • fewer headaches over compliance issues
  • less time wasted on admin, freeing up valuable time for other tasks
  • more reliable recruitment processes, referencing and qualification checks
  • fewer staff shortages and
  • automated verification and monitoring of renewals.

All of this adds up to less stress for management staff, a more contented workforce and ultimately, better staff retention rates.

Custom healthcare software

Some healthcare organisations will opt for a custom healthcare software solution. This can improve performance and ensure interoperability with other systems, regulatory compliance and streamline care delivery. However, tailor-made solutions can be extremely expensive, and not within the reach of most providers. Furthermore, before partnering with a software development agency, it’s essential to check their credentials - particularly in the healthcare arena - and ensure they have the relevant certifications, competencies and skills to build exactly the solution you are looking for. Otherwise, it could end up being an extremely costly mistake. 

Credentially’s offering

Credentially’s software developers have a wealth of experience working within the healthcare sector. Our software is fully customisable to the specific needs of your organisation, so anything you don’t like - or which doesn’t fit - can be tweaked to provide your dream solution, without the associated nightmare cost.

Healthcare software solutions in the UK

Any healthcare solution adopted by providers must be closely integrated with the Fundamental Standards of the Care Quality Commission, or CQC, the independent regulator of health and adult social care services in England.

As any health or social care provider will know, the CQC carries out annual inspections - or audits - of health and social care services in England, to ensure that people are provided with “safe, effective, compassionate, high-quality care”. It’s essential that all providers are aware of the CQC’s Fundamental Standards of care and are able to demonstrate that these standards are being met. You can find out more information about how to prepare for a CQC inspection here

At Credentially, we follow CQC guidance to ensure that our healthcare software solutions are closely aligned with their Fundamental Standards of care. So you can rest assured that not only will our platform make your business run more smoothly, it’s also been tailor-made to help you achieve regulatory compliance. 

We already have a range of clients in health and care home settings, and we’re supporting them with the challenging tasks of recruitment, on-boarding and streamlining of processes, as well as facilitating growth and maintaining compliance. Our software has been described as having “transformed” the way our clients work, improving confidence in compliance, and offering a “straightforward” system for the on-boarding of new staff.

3 Reasons Providers Fail CQC Inspections

1
“No system to ensure all staff have full pre-employment checks completed”
2
“Failure to deploy adequate numbers of suitably qualified staff”
3
“No system in place to review and communicate role-specific training or policies to staff”

Are you CQC ready?

Yes
No
1. Do you think there is there a link between staffing and the ability to deliver safe, effective services?
2. Do you have any digital tools, such as online staff management, that can help get the right people on duty at the right time?
3. Can you automate key aspects of employee onboarding to ensure the right mix of skills is available within your teams?
4. Can you evidence documents, DBS checks, right to work checks, certifications, training records, policies and reporting for CQC inspectors?
5. Is all your documentation regularly kept up to date?
6. Do your staff understand their responsibilities and how well can they link their work back to current guidelines and best practices?
7. Can you evidence that policies are communicated to staff and they are read and understood?
8. Do you have a digital document management system in place to ‘send and sign’ new or amended policies or documents to staff?
9. Do you record staff training and development that you can show CQC inspectors?
10. Can you provide clear evidence of how you are developing and improving your services?
