Country of Origin: United Kingdom
Reference Number: TOUK20170630001
Publication Date: 3 July 2017

Summary

An established UK technology company with expertise in health and social care digital solutions applications has developed a paperless management system and an innovative on-demand e-recruitment Software as a Service (SaaS) system to ease staffing and recruitment problems in the health and social care industry. Partners are sought for commercialisation via license and services agreements, and also expansion and adaptation for other sectors via research and/or technical cooperation agreements.

Description

The UK health and social care technology company has developed 2 complementary systems aimed at addressing staffing problems within the health and social care sector: 

a) A paperless management system which minimises paper and maximises the delivery of efficient care for the domiciliary care industries. It is a mobile and web application system.

b) An on-demand e-recruitment Software as a Service (SaaS) system, designed to address the staffing problems within the health and social care industry. This is achieved through bridging the gap between employing bodies, agencies and their registered employees in filling on-demand or on-the-go emergency jobs.

The technology creates a better coordination between the health and social care bodies; recruitment agencies; their registered employees and service users, who are the key stakeholders in this industry. It uses a web application to integrate these stakeholders, enabling on-demand or on-the-go emergency jobs to be filled instantly with transparency.

The health and social care bodies can post their jobs on the web application with all the relevant specifications. On receiving the jobs, the recruitment agencies activate the notification to their registered employees and those in the region with their mobile application turned on will receive an instant message with brief details of the job, place and the service users to be attended.

The SaaS comes with two mobile applications, one for the customers to book services and the other for the providers to accept and manage bookings. It also comes with additional management systems for improved administration:

- Payroll Management
- Account Management
- Analytics

The mobile application includes a function to filter jobs by region, area, amount payable and tasks involved. Therefore, the employees can narrow down the instant messages they receive from the application. The person who selects the job will appear on the screen of the health and social care bodies’ web application, who can then select the person fitting their criteria. The person who accepts the job first and meets the criteria gets acknowledged. The full details of the job will then be sent to the acknowledged people. Once acknowledged, the person has a binding obligation to fulfil the job.

The company is interested in finding suitable partners to use or commercialise the system, such as employing bodies, recruitment agencies and collaborators with complimentary services. Ideally, the potential partners would be in the private and public health and social care or technology field but not limited to them. The system is intended to be offered through licensing or services agreements.

The company is also interested in finding potential partners from both public and private organisations for expansion and adaptation of both systems for other sectors, via research and/or technical cooperation agreements.

Advantages and Innovations

The paperless management system minimises paperwork for health and social care professionals who do home visits. Care jobs can be sent and received remotely. Once completed this is fed back to the main system. This system becomes the framework for the SaaS system in terms of doing, completing jobs and sending feedback. 

The SaaS integrates three groups of people (employers, agencies/employees and service users) through a mobile app allowing on demand or on the go emergency jobs to be filled in a timely manner. The app gives users the ultimate flexibility to engage from anywhere, whether that’s the desktop in their office or a smartphone when on the move. The SaaS comes with an additional package for improved administration that covers payroll management, account management and analytics.

The SaaS offers the following advantages:

The ability to seamlessly connect employing bodies, agencies and their registered employees in the health and social care industry within a matter of seconds.

The app is fast to download and launch since most of the information is stored in the application itself making it possible to function offline.

The app reduces the costs currently being incurred through phone calls, SMS messages and paperwork for the same purpose in this industry.

The app offers automatic geo locating, and if connectivity is lost, it can pick up the last location of loss and has an option of launching data recovery.
