Post Reablement Contact
At the point at which service users are signed off as ‘aim achieved’ and their reablement package is removed, evidence shows an increased attendance at GP surgeries and A&E. Contact & Connect will call fortnightly and act as a post-reablement ‘safety belt’ to support service users as they regain their independence. Critically where people identify issues, these can swiftly be addressed with the aim of reducing hospital readmission and the cycle back into reablement.

Community Loan Recall
Around 50% of all equipment loaned to support reablement or rehabilitation is not returned, at a significant cost to the council as well as environmental implications. Contact and Connect will keep in touch with service users on a quarterly basis and when they feel their equipment can be returned – or it needs replacing – the system will flag a follow-on action to the relevant team.

90 day reporting
All councils have to complete the 90 day reporting as part of NHS Digital’s Adult Social Care Outcomes Framework, as to where people are 90 days after their hospital discharge – specifically known as the ASCOF 2b measure. This reporting can be a very time intensive process due to the need to pull together and assess a number of different spreadsheets and/or data streams as well as the process of actually calling. Contact & Connect aims to simplify this process through automated phone calls and appropriate follow ups to ensure a smooth transition from hospital to home.
