Context

Assistive devices are essential in healthcare. They increase residents’ independence and support care professionals in daily work. Yet in many organizations the process around these devices is slow and inefficient. Information is fragmented, processes differ per location, and staff lose a lot of time searching, coordinating and doing administration.\n\nTogether with ARNA, Score Agency developed a central platform that simplifies the entire flow. ARNA brings the full device process together in one clear environment: from advising and managing to ordering and organization wide insight. With a virtual assistant and up to date information, teams always have direct access to what they need.\n\nARNA reduces pressure and gives more control. Professionals find the right device faster, immediately see how it should be used, and know what is available. Management gains insight at location and organization level, so processes can be steered and continuously improved. The result is less frustration, less administration and more time for care.
