Technology-Enabled Care (TEC) Programme Background – (TEC) is the collective term for telecare, telehealth, telemedicine, mHealth, digital health and eHealth services.

• Tied to Health & Wellbeing Outcomes
• Designed to significantly extend the numbers of people directly benefiting from

technology enabled care and support in Scotland: To enable greater choice and control in health, care & wellbeing services, enabling more of our citizens to remain at home and in their communities.

• Benefits from £10 million in funding for 2015/16, with approx £9 million per year for

2016/17 and 2017/18

• Local areas challenged by the Cabinet Secretary to show how technology enabled

care contributes to avoiding unnecessary hospital admissions, reduces length of stay and prevents delayed discharges from hospitals in all locations across Scotland.

• 5 Key Workstreams identified for funded along with an additional overarching

Improvement Programme

Five priorities for the TEC Programme :

• Extending the use of home health monitoring
• Expanding use of video conferencing across all health and

social care sectors, as well as growing its use for clinical/practitioner consultations

• Building on the emerging national digital platforms to enable

direct access to advice and assistance

• Expanding the take up of Telecare with focus on prevention,

points of transitions in care and dementia (including exploring the scope and benefits of switching from analogue to digital)

Background

• Successful 5 year Telecare

Development Programme to March 2011

• Particular interest on

prevention, care transitions and dementia

Outcomes

• A significant increase in the number of people

with dementia supported at home/community

• Telecare is a mainstream and integrated part of

care planning

• Example Focus Areas For TEC Funding

– Raising Awareness – Dementia (including GPS) – Housing/sheltered housing – Learning disabilities – Self Directed Support – Workforce development – Support for carers – Falls/Fire Safety/Admission Prevention

EXPANSION OF TELECARE

 Telecare is now well established across Scotland (160K) although considerable variation still exists.  There continues to be patchy adoption of telecare as a routine response  It is predominantly delivered through analogue systems  Services are insufficiently mainstreamed  Sustainability is too often dependant on external funding with savings and efficiencies not resulting in enhanced core budgets.

TELECARE PROGRAMME

TEC EQUIPMENT

• Scotland Excel Telecare and Telehealth

Framework

• Telecare - Fall Detectors, Bed Occupancy/Monitor –

linked to lighting, Chair Occupancy, GPS, Lifestyle Monitoring

• Video Conferencing – Care Homes
• Digital Platforms – Living it Up (Smartcare)

Responder Services

 20 local authorities are operating or actively working towards the provision of a dedicated, 24 hour, 365 days per year responder service.  In other local authority areas, various methods are used to structure the provision of response services, ranging from contracted/purchased services from private providers and the voluntary sector, to utilising home care services and family carer networks.  Over the past five years the use of lifting cushions and associated equipment by responder services to assist people remobilise following a fall has grown rapidly and this is now well established within 25 council areas.

Next Steps
