Actualised Living
Five years ago we started constructing Actualised Living for Home From Home Care, the platform for every necessary program in complex social care – HR through to care delivery. Connecting everyone through collaborative working, job satisfaction, ‘command and control’ overviews, it increases financial and patient outcomes. We have started to structure big data, incorporating governance, detailed expectations, fairness and total transparency. Now we are creating the ‘brain’, the Actualised Rota which through risk analysis, will take the platform to a new level – predictability. Next – disruptive innovation with partners creating new hybrid business models that will alter the status quo.
