We originally designed Mycarematters as a way of reliably sharing a person’s non-medical needs and preferences with hospital staff, wanting to eliminate the delay between admission and collecting the information about what matters to a person, when they can’t communicate those things for themselves.
But of course it works just as well in care homes to ensure everyone interacting with the person is aware of the information they need to deliver person-centred care. There is then the added benefit of a person’s Mycarematters Profile being immediately available in the event the person has to undergo a stay in hospital.
It’s just the same for people being cared for in their own home. It’s ready and waiting for a hospital stay, just in case, but it can also provide visiting carers with a quick introduction of the information they need to provide a more personalised style of care.
A person’s Mycarematters profile can be viewed on any internet linked device but we find that printouts are still the most popular way to display a person’s Profile, and we offer a range of display options to suit all environments: click here for further information…
