Blueprint for proactive and preventative digital care services published

ByJDCteam

‘Unlocking the Power of Proactive and Preventative Care Services – A practical blueprint for planning, implementing and scaling up’ has been published by a new national Commission led by the Association of Directors of Adult Social Services (ADASS) and the TEC Services Association (TSA). 

The Commission engaged with 50+ social care leaders from local authorities and found a lack of evidence, guidance and best practice is holding councils back from scaling innovative, preventative approaches using technology enabled care (TEC).  

The co-produced blueprint – which features case studies, including those of people living with dementia (Sharon and Wyn’s story and Marianne’s story) – is intended to help councils provide, and invest in, more comprehensive digital preventative services.
