GoldCare Selected by Sisters of St Joseph (NSW) – MacKillop Community Care to Manage their Community and Aged Care

Glen Waverley, Victoria – August 11, 2009

Campana Systems Pty Ltd., leaders in healthcare management software, is pleased to announce that Sisters of St Joseph Aged Care Services (NSW) – MacKillop Community Care, has selected Campana's GoldCare healthcare management software to support their community and home care services for the aged.

GoldCare consists of many integrated applications to manage and support the full continuum of community and home care: clinical and assessments, operational management, rostering, financials, reporting and business intelligence, and more. GoldCare's integrated approach to care management allows data to be shared seamlessly via a single intuitive interface, providing up-to-date information access from regional offices and the point-of-care.

MacKillop Community Care offers community and home care to 160 clients out of Ryde-Hunters Hill (Sydney) and Central Coast. Their services provide personal care, home care, respite and socialisation support to seniors requiring high- and low-level care, as well as extended care. Serving so many clients presented some unique challenges, namely funder billing and reporting. Likewise, MacKillop Community Care required a solution that was highly scalable to accommodate their future growth, while still being intuitive for their staff to learn and use.

"We needed a solution that would help us meet the demands of our business growth and address the problem of a disparate collection of manual processes and separate systems that were causing an increasing burden on staff resources and costs", says Margaret Pistevos, Manager - Community for MacKillop Community Care.

"Two of the MacKillop Community Care staff recommended GoldCare after using it at a previous organisation. This is a wonderful example of how users are sharing their positive GoldCare experiences with their peers, and really creating a knowledgeable and active user community in Australia", says Grant Roberts, President of Campana Systems.
