The UK government’s Department for Health and Social Care (DHSC) has awarded £3m to four adult social care IT projects through its Adult Social Care Technology Fund. The schemes, located in Shropshire, Reading and Greater Manchester, utilise internet-of-things (IoT) platforms, sensor networks and virtual care delivery schemes to reduce hospital admissions and boost patient independence.
The National Care Group will also receive £349,234 from the fund to improve the quality of medication management and recording using an electronic medication administration record system. The government says this will improve recording accuracy for the 1,235 people supported by the system.
