SmarterCommissioning
Making bed booking processes simple and easy
SmarterCommissioning is a powerful money saving tool that automates your bed booking processes and provides bed vacancy information.
It delivers real time information that removes the administrative processes frequently associated with care home bed booking and vacancy searching.
SmarterCommissioning consists of two components, CareBooking and CareSearch, which are already saving vast amounts of money and time across many local authorities.
This City of Edinburgh Council has demonstrated annual savings of £137,000 and Oxfordshire County Council has saved up to £250,000.
These savings have been made through various ways including:
• Optimising bed vacancies
• Removing administrative costs
• Reducing unmet needs
• Improving service delivery
• One click reporting
All of these savings can be made whilst also meeting your Personalisation objectives. CareSearch and Carebooking can made available online direct to your citizens. This provides greater choice and control.
“By using CareSearch, we have managed to bring all the placement information into one place. The
database is very easy to use and Care Managers look up information for themselves speeding up
the process. Having the facility to email out ‘Vacancy information Packs’ straight to service users
and/or their families has saved costs and enabled the information to arrive more quickly.”
