Decision details
To award a contract for the Predict and Prevent Alarm receiving Centre to Mole Valley Life
Decision Maker: Corporate Director - Community Wellbeing
Decision status: Recommendations Approved
Is Key decision?: No
Is subject to call in?: No
Purpose:
The Alarm Receiving Centre is a key component
of the Predict and Prevent (P&P) model of care which is a key
outcome of the TEC Programme and is expected to provide
Herefordshire with significant value in long term cost avoidance
and more efficient allocation of resources.
Predict & Prevent (P&P) services use technology to capture
data around everyday activities, creating a baseline of each
individual user’s normal pattern of behavior in their home.
When the person’s movements or behavior changes from that
baseline, it may be an indication of a possible risk or
deterioration of health and the system will flag this and send an
alert to enable an intervention to be put into place. The system
works with a mixture of technologies that can be worn or placed
around the property dependent on the individual’s needs. On
average a baseline of data will be available after 2 weeks.
The data and alerts produced by the system will go directly to the
Alarm Receiving Centre who will triage and action the relevant
intervention or onward referral.
The aim of the interventions is to prolong independence and reduce
the need of further care or treatment being required.
