A care home in Rushcliffe, Nottinghamshire have been using Flo to indicate when Community Matron visits are required based on the patient’s vital signs readings reported to Florence.
The carers, patients and family are all involved in the use of Flo and the outcomes have been overwhelmingly positive from staff, patients and family demonstrating:
Positive improvements in residents’ quality of life and health
Effective identification of low blood pressure and resulting reduction in the risk of falls as medication titration can be done quicker and more effectively.
More appropriate use of NHS resources.
As a result other local communities are starting to use Flo based on this good practice
