By Utilizing Advanced Technological Solutions, Silver Chain Nursing has Become a Premier In-Home Patient Care Provider in Australia

Online, September 16, 2010 (Newswire.com) - (SAN DIEGO, CA, July 16, 2010) - Healthcare Digital spoke with the CEO of Silver Chain Nursing, Chris McGowan, to gain an in-depth look into the most sophisticated in-home nursing facility in Australia.

Through a highly-advanced system called, Comcare, Silver Chain is able to manage client information more efficiently than ever, and access that information quickly. The system allows for effective communication between remote workers caring for patients and staff stationed at the central office. In addition to using the system throughout its organization, Silver Chain also markets the tool to others in the industry, whether it's to a competitor or not. McGowan explains, "Increasing those organizations' capacity to deliver better care to their community is vicariously achieving our own goal."

Read about Silver Chain's goal of adding another layer to the Australian healthcare system. The Company provides in-home care to patients, which gives patients more attention than the general practitioner's office. However, many patients who require a higher level of care don't always want to go to the hospital, or need to. Silver Chain offers a middle ground for patients. The article says: "Silver Chain found that 98 percent of patients said they would rather stay home than go to a hospital; and of patients with a terminal illness, 85 percent said they prefer to pass away at home with family."
