Leading Aged Care IT Services: Empowering Aged Care through COVID-19 with Technology

Even before the Aged Care sector was turned on its head by a pandemic that disproportionately impacts the elderly, the Australian Medical Association (AMA) and the Royal Commission had already outlined a set of directives around the need for innovative aged care IT solutions and technology, to sustainably provide high quality care, in the face of an ageing population with complex needs.

Recent events, however, have made it clear that innovation doesn’t just drive efficiencies and cost-effectiveness, but rather provides older people in Australia the ability to stay connected to our modern world, in an age-friendly, safe and social environment that supports independence and prevents isolation.

Because of this, the industry now faces unprecedented change, to update business models and aged care technology to meet the expectations of future generations. Having a trusted, agile, and mature IT Managed Services partner to guide and work with your teams throughout this transformative period, has never been more critical.
