Spectrum Care Solutions offers consulting services specific to the aged care industry that offers practical and sustainable solutions based on many years experience in the Aged Care industry in Australia. Ultimately, high quality care and services to the elderly is the goal of most organizations, and our services are designed to 'Assist you to Care'. We understand the challenges and competing interests experienced by Aged Care Providers and provide services based on the needs of individual organizations.

GAP ANALYSIS

There are real benefits in using an external consultant to identify possible gaps in the provision of care and services. Spectrum Care Solutions offers a Gap Analysis against the Aged Care Quality Standards to assist organisations to feel confident in meeting the required standards. Where there is a deviation from the expected standard, a report and action plan is developed for Approved Providers to prioritise, and Spectrum Care Solutions can work with the provider to prioritise areas of possible non-compliance. Audit tools are already in place for the new Strengthened Aged Care Quality Standards that are likely to be finalised in 2024.

There are significant benefits in conducting external gap analysis:

  • Annually
  • 6 months Prior to accreditation
  • Any time when governing bodies seek an independent review
  • After a change of Key Personnel
  • Clinical Review where National Quality Indicator results are showing significant deviation from the mean.

NURSE ADVISOR DUTIES

When there are serious risks to the organisation, the Aged Care Quality and Safety Commission may require the approved provider to engage the services of a Nurse Advisor. Spectrum Care Solutions is able to assist with this responsibility and use their extensive experience to assist the organisation back to full compliance.

Spectrum Care Solutions can work with you to review the organisations quality systems and to highlight possible efficiencies. We happily work with Quality Managers and Key Personnel to review systems, policies and processes.
