Aged Care Quality Standards

Does your Feedback & Complaints System Comply?

Standard 6 of the Aged Care Quality Standards requires providers to demonstrate that feedback and complaints are "encouraged and supported", there is "open disclosure", and responding actions are "appropriate".

Paper Forms

The paperwork required to demonstrate compliance makes this practically impossible. It's also difficult to spot trends to add to your PCI.

Risk Management Tools

To demonstrate compliance, the manager must manually enter all correspondence which is time-consuming and not terribly practical.

Survey Tools & Scheduled Audits

If relying on surveys or audits to identify issues, it's too late to take "appropriate action". You can't undo a broken hip!

Staff undertaking a survey isn't consumer engagement.

Web-based Feedback Tools

These tools do not "encourage and support" the many people that aren't tech-savvy or don't have Internet access.

Further, the forms are often hard-to-use and long-winded.

Retail Feedback Tools

Modified retail tools don't meet open disclosure requirements and often don't meet health data privacy and security obligations.

Tell Touch

Simple, easy-to-use, accessible system. Continuous live data allows you to engage with your consumers, deliver better care and demonstrate compliance.

An Early Warning System

For every person who complains, 26 others typically remain silent. Tell Touch proactively captures instant feedback and spotlights issues before they fester into costly, time-consuming, resource-intensive problems. It's an early warning system that improves operations and makes compliance painless.

Reporting Requirements Made Easy

Save days-and-days-and-days of work each month and quarter complying with the new and upcoming reporting requirements. Don't sweat it when the department comes a-knocking.

Monthly Care Statements

When quality assessors ask to review feedback and complaints.

Tell Touch reports allow you to export a PDF with everything needed. The feedback and complaints component of the audit is satisfied in 2 minutes!

Monthly Care Statements

Beginning mid-2023 all homes need to provide Monthly Care Statements. Most required data can be extracted from care management software - but not feedback data.

Tell Touch offers a report that gives you exactly what's needed!

Monthly Care Statements

A Residents’ Experience survey makes up the biggest part of the Star Rating calculation.

Tell Touch provides a digital version of the survey. Interview residents yourself to avoid any surprises.

Monthly Care Statements

From 1 April 2023 the QI Program has been expanded. New indicators require conducting quarterly "Quality of Care Experience" and a "Quality of Life" surveys on every resident.

Use Tell Touch surveys to track, collate and calculate the QI value you're required to report.

An ounce of preventions is worth a pound of cure.
