Pioneering technology with TrinityConnect
At Trinity Homecare, we have invested in pioneering technology and our digital system called TrinityConnect, which enables us to provide the highest standards of service to all of our clients – a service that is personal, trusted and caring. Here, you can find out more about our latest initiatives, which has helped us with our transition to paperless records. There are many benefits for our clients, their next of kin and our care staff.
What is TrinityConnect?
TrinityConnect is our digital system which acts in the same way as the paper records previously contained in a ‘Personal Care Plan’ folder. Your personal care plan, emergency contact information, important documents, care notes, medication records and medical information will be stored digitally, and your TrinityCarers will update it via an app on their tablet or mobile phone.
As TrinityCarers record information using the app, your care management team will view these updates as a live feed and they will be able to monitor events in real time.
“I live overseas, thousands of miles away from my elderly mum. As she has Alzheimer’s, I understand that whenever I ring her for a chat she may be unable to express how she is doing. I now have access to TrinityCarers’ notes, it has helped me to feel so much more connected. I appreciate their honesty, they make a note of her more confused days. They also record specific problems like her arthritis pain, lost spectacles, washing problems etc. Most of all I feel as if my mum is getting daily contact with the Trinity girls, I do so appreciate that. The notes are a wonderful method of somehow having a view across the miles of how my mum seems.” - TrinityConnect Next of Kin User
