ReSET - Remote Support with Enabling Technology

As a provider, you’re already facing many challenges with staffing shortages and funding pressures. Social distancing may be creating more challenges to the staffing patterns of your organization. We want to encourage you to consider Remote Supports with Enabling Technology. In other words, it may be time to ReSET what you’re currently doing, and evaluate introducing further technology into your organization. Remote support provides an alternative solution for social distancing, helps create a safe and healthy way to care for individuals and staff, and is a proven model for community supported living.

As people and living opportunities change, so does technology. As a part of your COVID response plan, you may want to assess your current technology integration as well as consider some new solutions:

• Are there individuals who are ready to graduate to more independence with the technology they have by updating rules or notifications?

• Could additional sensors be included in a wireless sensor system to capture additional routines and alerts to remote staff? For example, sensors like motion sensors, paired with other sensors, can capture movement/location in the home.

• Are there stand-alone pieces of equipment that could create additional support like a medication dispenser or Ring video doorbell?

• Would individuals with mental health issues benefit from a medication dispenser + PERS unit pairing?

• Do you need to update or add responders and/or change the type or sequence of alerts to specific responders? Are there types of technology and apps that can support social contact and emotional wellbeing?

• Would you like to provide non-emergency direct and natural support through video intercom?

• Does your Organization Technology Plan/Direct Response Back-Up Plan need updating or an addendum to address new policies and practices during your COVID response?
