Call Me

Put yourself in the position of a Service User.  You want to let your provider know not to come on a certain day because you'll be out.  Who do you call?  Will you be kept hanging on the line to get to the right person?  This is just one of the scenarios where the Call Me feature can help.  You would simply press the Call Me button and someone, someone who knows about you and your care package, will call back - typically within 48hrs.  Now that's much easier!

"I wish there was a simple way I could get in touch with my carer's organisation, I need to let them know I am going way to my daughter's for the week."

"That hospital visit might be short notice but I need to go, how do I stop my carer coming?"

"I think my carers are wonderful, and I think they should be complimented."

One of the biggest headaches for care providers is the continual change made to the care rosters. Wouldn't it be good to be given advance notice of changes to help with your the planning and resource issues? Similarly, it is a cause of anxiety for Service Users that the "don't want to be a burden" when their plans change. Instead of calling a busy call-centre which might be handling urgent matters, all they ask is that someone calls them back to discuss their changes. The same anxieties arise when they want to discuss matters confidentially without talking directly with their Carer, for whatever reason.

This is where the Burall InfoCare system helps because one of the unique benefits of having a terminal in the Service User's home is that they can initiate any non-urgent contact with their care provider at the touch of a button. A call back, within normal office hours, then ensures that important information is shared, helps improve the service delivered, and allows optimum use of precious resources. It reduces aborted visits and enables care to be delivered where it is needed most, with greater efficiency.

The Call Me button can also provide feedback on the service delivered - not just to complain but to offer thanks for a job well done. And because this feedback can go directly to the Social Services department, it allows an independent and confidential communications channel which doesn't rely on relaying messages through the Care Worker or an independent Provider organisation.

Call Me is just one of the unique features of the Burall InfoCare system.
