Why care providers are switching to PCS

The UK's leading care management software

When managing a care organisation, the last thing you want is to be uncertain about the care management software in place. You need a reliable, user-friendly system that's dependable, straightforward and seamlessly supports day-to-day operations and care-related tasks without any unexpected disruptions. This is where mCare comes into play - a key component of our Connected Care platform that delivers a streamlined experience for care providers seeking positive change.

System failures are inconvenient and can significantly impact your entire organisation. mCare is designed to proactively prevent such disruptions, offering consistent service that care organisations can rely on.

Our primary commitment is to make sure that your home operates smoothly, with a responsive system, to swiftly and effectively address any issues that may arise.

Chris Egan, Chief Technology Officer at Person Centred Software says:

'We use Microsoft Azure to store our data, where everything is geo-replicated and backed up instantly to multiple servers; this means mCare's data storage is fully resilient with no single point of failure.

'We're compliant with the 14 NHS Digital Social Care Record (DSCR) standards, ensuring that our system's standards are fit for purpose and can be implemented without becoming a burden to users.'

Eliminate the need for multiple systems

Another reason care providers are switching to mCare is interoperability with our Connected Care platform, a one-stop solution that provides integrated solutions covering the full ecosystem of care management within social care.

We've seen many providers increasingly adopt multiple software solutions from digital social care record systems to help with the delivery of care and comply with regulations, medication management systems to improve safety, compliance and efficiency around administering meds, dependency tools to help maximise staffing in care homes... 

You don't need separate services for all this. When you switching to a provider who offers multiple solutions, such as PCS, you eliminate the need for multiple systems.

We also help make the delivery of person-centred care simple for care providers with our Connected Care platform.

What care providers say about PCS

'When searching for the best system to meet our needs, we found that regardless of how many systems we looked at, none ticked all our requirements.

'We looked at about 15 different possible providers. Some were either too clinical and weighed down by unnecessary administrative work. Other systems were too much box-ticking without a real sense of engagement in the process of recording a detailed care note with useful information.

'In other words, some did certain things, some did others, usually meeting about 50% of our criteria, but none met every part of our criteria. his changed, however, when we came across mCare from PCS.'

'Over the past eight years, mCare by PCS has played a crucial role in streamlining our care services and helping our care team deliver better care, including dementia care.

'The system has been instrumental in relieving our care teams of their admin duties, giving them more time to deliver hands-on care.'

'The Care Quality Commission (CQC) rated Ashfields as Outstanding. Receiving an Outstanding rating is a remarkable achievement and the entire team at Ashfields is incredibly proud of the CQC inspection report. mCare was instrumental in helping the home achieve this rating.'
