Communicare Service
What is Communicare?
Communicare provides the 'backbone' service to Argyll's Mobicare and Procare services. It is an award winning risk management and telecare solution that is simple to use and operate. Modular by design, it discreetly monitors the day-to-day health, safety and wellbeing of vulnerable individuals and lone workers. This is achieved by managing identified risks and empowering users with a simple facility to update daily activities; monitoring their geographic location using passive and active technologies and indicate, in real-time, where higher risk activities are being undertaken.
Communicare can ensure a users safety following completion of every task and enables users to summon urgent assistance from colleagues, friends or emergency response providers if the situation arises.
What does Communicare deliver?
Communicare centres upon a unique tiered risk management system, enabling individuals to indicate current risk status. An integrated location management platform enables the responder to identify the user location. A dedicated response facility offers tailored escalation protocols for each individual user.
The modular design of Communicare enables individuals or risk managers to choose the appropriate service options to mirror their risk assessment requirements.
How Does Communicare Work?
Everyone carries out a risk assessment depending on the nature of the task. For employers it is a legal requirement that they carry out proper risk assessments to ensure that these risks are recognised. They must then take steps to avoid or control them, including the risk of reasonably foreseeable violence. For individuals our risk assessments may be less formal but are no less important.
Communicare offers users the flexibility of managing 5 layers of risk:
- Green Risk: The fundamental Duty of Care risk ensuring safe return at the end of the day or work shift
- Amber Pre-alert: Providing details of temporary higher risk activities and locations
- Amber Managed: Enabling Communicare to actively monitor your safe completion of any Amber Pre-Alert activity
- Red Risk: Identifying potential problems and trigger escalation processes if you fail to confirm safe following any Green or Amber Managed activities
- Duress: When all else fails and you need assistance fast! A single button press links you to vital support.
