href=\"https:\/\/www.australianageingagenda.com.au\/technology\/ict\/project-seeking-providers-vendors-to-help-improve-aged-care-data\/\">Aged Care Data Compare project<\/a>, Kinnexus offers something the sector has long needed: a nationally standardised approach to functional assessments and evidence-based quality indicator data.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The platform is much more than another incremental improvement, she said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s the foundation for a future\u2011ready aged care data ecosystem \u2013 one designed to reduce burdens on the workforce, support providers to meet rising regulatory expectations, and open the door to more timely, actionable, and meaningful insights.<\/p>\n<p>DHCRC is seeking aged care providers and technology vendors to help shape its development by participating in a trial and codesigning new features.<\/p>\n<p>The platform matters because the aged care workforce is stretched, documentation demands are growing, and the sector continues to grapple with fragmented systems, Ms Snewin said.<\/p>\n<p>She said Kinnexus promises:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>reduced manual data entry and real\u2011time generation of quality indicators, freeing nurses and clinicians to focus on direct resident care<\/li>\n<li>deep insights into workflow and productivity, supported by automated, standardised QI reporting<\/li>\n<li>hands\u2011on experimentation through the Kinnexus clinical information system simulator or deployment in participants\u2019 own development environments with full support<\/li>\n<li>real\u2011world benefits, such as nurses, quality managers, and clinical leaders identifying improvements in efficiency, consistency, and decision\u2011making in current trials.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Ms Snewin said the sector must act now or Australia will continue to face the same fragmented systems, rising documentation burden, and missed opportunities for meaningful insight that have held back aged care for years.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFor organisations committed to high\u2011quality care, efficient workflows, and a digitally capable workforce, this is a chance to be part of something that will influence the sector for years to come,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>Expressions of interest to trial Kinnexus close 13 February.
