The Aged Care Quality and Safety Commission (ACQSC) is intensifying its regulatory enforcement against aged care providers who fail to meet mandatory care minute targets. Recently, the regulator issued enforceable undertakings to 27 residential aged care homes and 11 providers that have consistently fallen short of the required care minutes over multiple quarters.

Acredia’s Preventive Maintenance Register is explicitly designed for aged care facilities, integrating seamlessly with general maintenance and asset management modules. This feature simplifies contractor management, scheduling, and documentation, ensuring compliance with industry standards and streamlining facility operations.

Our integration with My Health Record now supports the uploading of the new Aged Care Transfer Summary (ACTS) documents, and in early 2025, it will support vaccination history and discharge summaries.

By closely examining complaints data, providers can better understand the needs of those they serve and take strategic action to improve care quality, organisational culture, and resident satisfaction.

Acredia's Frailty Index offers transformative benefits that empower providers to deliver better, more personalised care. In this article, we explore these benefits and how our AI-enhanced software enhances care with data-driven insights and tailored interventions.

The Care Minute targets represent a significant step forward in improving the quality of care for older Australians. However, achieving these targets will require a proactive approach to workforce management, service delivery, and compliance.

As aged care providers prepare for significant changes brought about by the aged care reforms, organisations should ensure they have the systems in place to meet the new compliance requirements, to deliver high-quality care, and maintain financial viability.

Monthly Care Statements are designed to offer residents and their representatives a comprehensive overview of the care provided each month. Acredia software is designed to help aged care providers streamline the process of generating these monthly updates, ensuring accuracy and consistency.

Aged Care Providers should now be planning their strategy for transitioning to the Strengthened Quality Standards. Additional actions within the Standards require planning and consideration of system suitability, capability, and availability of resources.
