Case Study: Orchard Care Homes improves care planning and person-centred care with Person Centred Software

Orchard Care Homes cuts significant injuries by 91% with Person Centred Software

Orchard Care Homes, a provider with 23 care homes across the North of England and the Midlands, faced significant challenges with its paper-based care planning system. This method made it difficult to maintain oversight, resulted in incomplete care notes, and consumed valuable staff time. To overcome these inefficiencies, Orchard Care Homes implemented the mCare digital care planning system from vendor Person Centred Software.

The solution from Person Centred Software enabled care staff to record notes in real-time using a mobile app, greatly increasing the quantity and accuracy of information captured. The system provided excellent oversight with features like Care Monitoring and GP Connect. The implementation led to a phenomenal increase in daily care notes and delivered measurable results, including a 91% reduction in significant injuries and a 20% reduction in falls after integrating the PainChek tool. Overall, Person Centred Software's mCare system streamlined operations and significantly improved the standard of person-centred care.
