The contact tracing tag harnesses 100% room accurate location services to identify every room a staff member has visited in the last 30 days, with a comprehensive history provided through an archived database saved for detailed tracking.

By tracing all interactions between staff and patients in residential / aged care facilities, managers can immediately confirm and isolate any person at risk and immediately test for viruses such as COVID-19.

Similar to our other RTLS solutions, records are made as soon as a tag is detected in a patient or residents’ room. We recommend all staff members wear this tag at all times within the relevant facility.

This tag is ideal for COVID-19 tracing, as well as other contagious infections. It seamlessly integrates with existing Nurse Call systems, with no wires required to guarantee quick installation. Fast installation ensures fast operation.

Staff and families – as well as the wider community – gain peace of mind through transparent and accountable measures keeping everyone as safe as possible.

The three main points the inquires revealed are:

(1) Provide home care packages to reduce the waiting list for a placement in aged care;
(2) Respond to the ‘significant’ overreliance on chemical restraint;
(3) Stop young people with disabilities entering aged care and expedite getting young people currently in aged care facilities out.[2]

CarePlus™ offers sophisticated Nurse Call and targeted resident care and safety features as immediate and viable solutions to these issues.

A targeted Nurse Call system such as CarePlus™ Senior ensures residents are specifically taken care of with Auto Nurse Presence, Dementia Monitoring and Profiling, as well as accurate and traceable call initiation per resident, per location. The system operates ambitious yet purposeful programs to provide detailed analytics and reporting for greater accountability and transparency within your facility.

CarePlus™ Mobile Resident Call and CarePlus™ Mobile Staff Duress are RTLS care management solutions designed to maximise safety, detecting and directing help where and when needed. Assets, residents and staff can be tracked for visible and responsible safety throughout any facility.

NiQ Health ensures you have the tools to benefit the entire facility and all its members to ensure healthcare providers take the Royal Commission findings seriously.

Unobtrusive, easy-to-use call devices – attached via a lanyard – are given to residents to alert Nursing staff immediately when residents are ready to leave one area of a facility for another, or to simply signal for assistance. RTLS dual active technology RF (Radio Frequency) and IR (Infra-Red) ensures precise room locations are detected, providing residents with a sense of empowerment as staff are no longer required to wait around with individuals in communal areas, indoors or outdoors. Integration is as simple as a stand-alone system or a complete Nurse Call solution.

Health Workforce Australia (HWA) estimates there will be a shortage of over 100,000 Nurses by 2025[1], which is a topic explored in numerous Australian Royal Commissions. By increasing resident’s freedom and independence, staff’s productivity and resources improves to guarantee all parties are satisfied with the most recent CarePlus™ aged care safety feature. Greater safety encourages peace-of-mind for staff, residents, and their families, as CarePlus™ understands the value of security to meet aged care requirements and exceed expectations.

CarePlus™ Wireless utilises clinical-grade wireless communication for faster performance, greater integration and improved workflow in any healthcare facility.

Todd Emery, General Manager of ELA, says ECU wanted minimal disturbance, cost-efficiency and superior design with real-life advanced technology. “CarePlus™ doesn’t negotiate on reliability, productivity or safety. Students can focus on learning with fast and direct communication with an authentic Nurse Call system. CarePlus™ is their foundation for coordinated care.”

Andrew Rothon, the founder and CEO of NiQ Health, is certain CarePlus™ Asset Tracking is exactly what all medium to large size medical facilities need.
