Rest home facilities and their staff want to provide the best care for their residents whilst also complying with governance standards. Through VCare’s reporting functionality, this has never been easier.

In this blog post, we will explain what governance means in aged care and the importance of reporting to meet compliance standards.
What is governance?
Governance is the practical application of structures, processes and policies towards meeting organisational goals. Leadership, oversight, accountability, and quality improvement reporting & monitoring mechanisms are all key areas for consideration when striving to achieve good governance.
Within aged care, VCare governance helps with the decision-making process, increases accountability, and attracting and retaining staff, vital in this industry with a high turnover rate. It also creates a strong reputation and allows your home to improve patient and resident outcomes through accurate reporting.
Reporting
The key to good decision making is accurate and up to date information. VCare allows facilities to have a single source of truth so there is no confusion and everyone has the same information.
Good governance requires good decision making and regular reflection.
