Overview
The Care Act places substantial responsibility on councils to focus on meeting people’s needs by ensuring the delivery of quality and innovative social services.
Processes for setting up new tailored care packages for any individual can be laborious and time-consuming if local authorities rely on teams of people contacting providers to evaluate who has availability.
The current way of working is costly and results in delayed transfer of care, which has wider implications for the NHS. It also leads to poorer health and social care outcomes or the need for emergency care while a new care package is setup.
The care plan requirements recorded in Mosaic can be shared with relevant prospective providers efficiently through Mosaic Dynamic Purchasing.
