Dear Families, Friends and Representatives,

We are pleased to inform you that we are transitioning to a new clinical documentation system called Clinical Manager.

This change will bring several important benefits, including:

• Simpler and clearer clinical documentation, which will help our staff spend more time focusing on care.
• Improved communication within our team, ensuring care is informed, consistent, and responsive.
• Mobile point-of-care documentation, allowing our staff to record care in real time using a secure mobile app.
• Updates sent to the person responsible (via email or SMS), including non-urgent information, where appropriate. Please note – the updates are sent from a system. If you have any enquiries, please contact your RSM.

Please be assured that in the case of any emergency, we will always call you directly.

We are committed to delivering the highest standard of care, and this new system is an important step in continuing to improve how we support you and your loved ones.

If you have any questions about this change, please don’t hesitate to contact us. 

Dear Team,

This week marks the first big step in our transition to Clinical Manager. Here’s what you can expect:

• Training: Relevant team members will complete a CarePlan training session to prepare for CarePlan updates starting next week.
• Data Migration: Resident Demographic data will be migrated into Telstra Health. Selected team members will be spending the next 2 weeks to get all information in the Clinical Manager system.

Your cooperation and focus this week are key to getting us off to a strong start. Thank you for your continued support as we move forward.

Dear residents, families and representatives,

With the new aged care reforms now in effect, we’ve updated our Resident Handbook to reflect these changes. The handbook is an important resource, providing information about our purpose and values, approach to care, code of conduct, and practical details such as accommodation, safety, security and medical care at Whiddon.

In addition, you’ll also find updates on:

• Aged Care Quality Standards
• The new Statement of Rights
• Complaints and feedback processes
• Our commitment to clinical governance

You can access the digital version of the handbook here. If you’d prefer a printed copy, please contact your Residential Services Manager and we’ll arrange one for you.

As always, we welcome your feedback and questions and invite you to speak to your Residential Services Manager if you have any queries.

Thank you for being part of the Whiddon family. We remain committed to delivering the highest standard of care for our residents.
