Managing risk in Aged Care

Whilst the aged care industry operates in a strict regulatory environment where service continuity is a high priority and maintaining compliant facilities is critical. This market is also extremely competitive, cost effective solutions are integral to financial performance.

Ultum works with a number of leading aged care providers to ensure their portfolios are maintained in accordance with the Building Code of Australia. The service model we have developed for the health sector meets the objectives of overall compliance with the code and ensures all essential safety equipment is maintained in accordance with the required standard. Our model allows seamless integration into our clients’ accreditation process.

Annual audits and gap reports are delivered as part of our service offering. The reports allow managers at all levels of the client organisation to get visibility into the status of critical compliance issues. Managers can view information at any level from site through to building and portfolio.

Our integrated solutions have allowed clients to determine what their compliance levels are in comparison to their corporate requirements. We provide data to help managers understand what assets they have on site. Ultum can also advise on the capital requirements for maintenance of client portfolios.

Our innovative service model allows us to deploy solutions that address issues unique to the health sector. Clients can take advantage of our integrated asset management system. This system allows us to remotely collect data in a number of cost effective ways.

We give aged care facility managers the information they need to manage their portfolios in a compliant, cost effective way today and into the future.
