SmartHomes Make Staff Members More Efficient

A key goal of our SmartHomes project is to make our staff members more efficient, so they can spend more of their time doing what they do best – caring for residents. Below are a few examples of technologies currently being used by staff members at the Bob and Judy Charles SmartHome that demonstrate our commitment to that goal.

Supervisor and Staff Information System Interface

The Bob and Judy Charles SmartHome utilizes a network of interoperable hardware and software for real-time resident monitoring, reporting, data modeling and decision support. This provides a single point of entry for information for managers on house functions and consumer and employee activities; provides a single interface for line staff to monitor consumer activities and report on daily consumer and house related activities; provides a simple method for line staff to enter daily documentation; documents activities based upon sensor data collection; and provides a method for line staff to respond to consumer initiated emergency calls and sensor based health alerts.

Documentation of Life History of Consumers

Using a variety of integrated hardware and software, Charles SmartHome staff members are provided a means to document and disseminate the life history of consumers. By collecting information on daily activities, family history, personal preferences, and medical information, staff members have a greater understanding of the people they are serving, and improved services and communication are the result.

Online Training

Online training for staff provides a simple and cost-effective method for staff to meet the necessary training requirements, and shorten the training curve for new employees.

Online Employee Time Tracking

Using an online employee time tracking system not only frees up employee time to focus on caring for consumers, it also ensures accurate and timely information for payroll administration.

  2. You can't go wrong with an online employee time tracking software. As you mentioned, it's accurate and frees up your employee's time, and also equally important saves payrolls time. (which in turn saves money!) I just switched from paper timesheets to an online time tracking system a few months ago and it has made my life so much easier. I use TSheets, http://www.tsheets.com for mine.

    When you're running a business, organization and project management are key. I've noticed it makes a less stressful work environment too!

  3. Early when technology was at its beginning it was quite difficult to handle any project containing more of responsibility of different sections. It was something like each member was required to visit the project manager to get the allocation of work.

  4. Today project management software is used by almost every company. It is a tool without which one can live. Doing business online and communicating with everyone in regards to the progress and requirements of the project would not have been possible without the help of project management software.
