Digital transformation
This year we have pushed ahead with our digital transformation. Last
year we embedded a digital care management system (Sekoia) across
the whole organisation, and this year we have rolled out a new digital
rota system (Sona). Sekoia has continued to make an enormous
difference to the on-the-ground experience of support workers
and people receiving care, giving staff instant access to up-to-theminute information about people’s support needs; enabling easier
handovers between shifts; and reducing time spent recording. Sona
will enable us to manage our resources more efficiently – giving
us live management information and reducing the time spent by
managers on administrative tasks.
We are also participating in a Surrey pilot of Sensor-Based Falls
Prevention technology, in partnership with Surrey Heartlands ICS
(Integrated Care System). This technology will be trialled in our
residential services, where people have a relative higher risk of falls
compared to supported living services.

We also utilise a range of other
assistive technology to enable people
to be as independent as possible. This
includes Just Roaming, which helps
people to live as independently as
possible through a technology-enabled
support package. For example, when
David* moved into his new home, Just
Roaming system was set up to support
risk areas. David was given a call for
assistance button to request support
when required. Alerts were set up to
notify staff outside the property if:
+ Anyone entered/exited the property
+ The sharps box or knife drawers
was used
+ The medication cabinet was
accessed
David has responded exceptionally well
to a less restrictive support structure.
He now does his food shopping, cooks
meals for himself and administers his
own medication. He has taken pride
in his new accommodation, cleaning,
doing laundry, and even hosting a
dinner party for friends.
