PITTSBURGH, JANUARY 20, 2009 - Vocollect Healthcare Systems, Inc. announces that Daybreak Venture, LLC headquartered in Denton, Texas, will deploy AccuNurse voice-assisted care throughout its 74 managed facility enterprise, all based in Texas.
Daybreak Venture expects the investment in voice-assisted care to take quality of care to new levels of performance by enabling more proactive care, increasing productivity of its direct care team and providing more time for direct resident care. By giving caregivers the ability to access resident care needs on demand, complete paperwork simply by talking, enhance care team collaboration with Silent Paging and respond faster to resident needs, Daybreak Venture will achieve numerous performance gains, including enabling higher levels of staff efficiency and satisfaction while increasing quality, eliminating paperwork, and achieving compliance.
According to Mike Rich, president of Daybreak Venture, “Our decision to invest in voice-assisted care is grounded in our caregivers and residents. We are transforming our organization to put residents and families at the heart of everything we do, and so we searched for a way to help our care team accelerate our strategic vision. After weighing our options, we found nothing that even came close to the power that voice-assisted care offers through on-demand care delivery. By empowering caregivers with instant access to people and information, we will take the care we are providing to a whole new level. On-demand access is what I expect from the technologies I use, so why would we want anything less for every caregiver across our enterprise? We’re committed to transforming our culture to deliver revolutionary service through person-centered care, and voice-assisted care is a key player in helping us achieve this goal.”
For Daybreak Venture, AccuNurse voice-assisted care enables on-demand access to information and other staff; the elimination of paper for managing care needs and documentation; the ability for caregivers to make decisions more accurately and quickly; and, the ability for the care team to multi-task while documenting care, thereby improving productivity and directing more time back to residents.
“Our goal is very simple, and that is to use voice-assisted care to help us deliver quality care and dignity to the residents we serve,” said Gayle Atherton, director of clinical services for Daybreak Venture. “When our team can improve productivity, deliver more personalized care and spend more time with residents, that’s a big win for our residents. It’s also a significant morale issue for our care team. They’ve seen that we’ve invested in them and it sends a strong message that we care about their time and effort. That’s a win for our care team, a win for every resident in every facility, and a win for our organization as a whole. Just as we ask our staff to be accountable to us for the care they provide, we’re also being accountable to them by giving them the right tools to succeed. And voice-assisted care is the right tool for this very important job.”
According to James Quasey, president of Vocollect Healthcare Systems, “By implementing voice-assisted care at Daybreak Venture, caregivers and the residents they serve will benefit from real-time communication and documentation while also providing residents families with the confidence in knowing their loved ones are getting the highest levels of quality care they deserve. We welcome Daybreak Venture to our growing family of communities that are collectively raising the bar for providing the best-quality care in the industry today.”
