Carehome Selection has been a specialist in the care home placement sector since 1995, working with hundreds of PCTs and hospitals across the UK. As a result of this experience, we have developed tailor-made services to support PCTs in the management of continuing healthcare. We are offering a range of different services. PCTs can choose any of the options in order to meet their specific needs.

“I want a system which allows me to see future spend for thousands of continuing care clients at a click of a button”

SOLUTION: Option 1, Caretrack Database
The database provides a single, integrated system where all patient and financial activity can be properly recorded. It can be used for all care groups, is simple to use and can be adapted to provide different levels of access to information for different staff groups. It harmonises all financial and administrative information, allowing financial reports to be generated at a click of a button, including future spend projections.

“We were paying for clients who had deceased and care which was not being provided because our data was incorrect”

SOLUTION: Option 2, Data Cleanse
Carehome Selection staff will check the information held on every client by contacting their care providers and entering the new information on the database to ensure your placement information is accurate.

“We lack the time and resources to keep track of our clients once they move into their placements”

SOLUTION: Option 3, Client Management
Carehome Selection will provide the additional support to ensure that your clients are being well cared for, monitor any changes in their status and update the database.

“We do not achieve the most cost-effective and efficient placements for our continuing care and domiciliary care clients.”

SOLUTION: Option 4, Commissioning
Continuing healthcare costs amount to 10 per cent of the total budget of a typical PCT, having risen significantly. Specialist knowledge of this diverse and complex sector is required in order to achieve the most cost-effective and efficient placements. Carehome Selection will commission the placements and care packages required for your patients. Using expert knowledge of the market place, Carehome Selection will ensure that your placements are achieved quickly in appropriate settings at the best prices.

“The management costs for continuing care are very high because so many teams and staff are involved”

SOLUTION: Option 5: Financial Management
Carehome Selection will handle the payment of all supplier invoices to ensure much reduced management costs. Carehome Selection will issue the PCT with a single invoice each month to cover all continuing and domiciliary care placements.

“We have had a sudden rise in continuing care clients which is likely to result in delays. Some clients are children with complex needs and we lack expertise in that area.”

SOLUTION: Option 6, Consultancy and Nurse Assessment
Carehome Selection can provide nurse assessment of your continuing care clients, either on an ongoing basis, or to address a sudden rise in clients or requirement for specialist assessment skills.
