Dear Team,

We’re now moving into the hands-on stage of our transition. This week:

• Care Plan Activity: Selected RNs will begin entering Care Plans into Clinical Manager.
• Systems in Parallel: Both AutumnCare and Clinical Manager will run side-by-side to ensure accuracy and consistency.
• Onsite Support: Robynne from the quality team will be on hand throughout the week to provide guidance and answer questions.

This is a crucial phase, and your dedication will help us stay on track. Thank you to everyone for your focus and teamwork.

Regards,
Whiddon Kelso

Dear Residents, Families, and Carers,

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.

Kind Regards,
The Whiddon Kelso Team

Dear Team,

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

• Training: Selected RNs will complete a 3-hour online CarePlan training session to prepare for CarePlan updates starting next week.
• Data Migration: Resident Demographic data will be migrated into Telstra Health . Selected RNs 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 Families, Friends & Representatives,

We are pleased to advise the planned works have now been completed and the underground car park at Sir David Martin Home is open.

Thank you for your patience and understanding, as we appreciate the significant impact to available parking spaces during this time.

Kind regards,

Dear Whiddon Kelso Families, Friends & Representatives,

We would like to advise that Whiddon Kelso is currently monitoring a potential Gastroenteritis outbreak, with a small number of residents and employees showing symptoms.

While this is yet to be confirmed by pathology, we have already commenced outbreak precautions and processes as a proactive measure, and have notified the Public Health Unit accordingly.

Visitors are still welcome at Whiddon Kelso. We do ask, however, that all visitors remain hypervigilant with personal hygiene while on site and upon leaving – including thorough handwashing and the use of hand sanitiser provided.

We will continue to monitor the situation closely and provide further updates as they come to hand. Thank you for your understanding and support during this time.
