We don't have problems with employee's efficiency - in this aspect, many ordinary commercial companies could probably envy us. We are currently working on our ability to react sharp and quickly to the ongoing ever-changing situation. In our opinion, the primary motivation for process automation and time management with AI is growing fatigue and fear of burnout of the key employees.

Before implementation

Home AMBROSIE is a registered private provider of social services. 138 clients use residential services. In 26 years on the market, the company has been in charge of 4,500 household patients.

In 2019, the company’s executive director decided to proceed with the digitalization of the company.
The aim was to make the implementation of administrative tasks simpler, reduce the dependency of individual employees on specific offices and make the training of new employees easier.

The years 2020 and 2021 posed an extreme traffic load as they were accompanied by fears, uncertainty, chaos and enormous increase in administration. However, at the same time, those years confirmed that the decision - to start using available technologies to the full - was right and well-timed.

The last area that needed attention was automated process management and remote work management.

With APUtime

In January 2021, we proceeded to the automatization of a maximum amount of processes in order to reduce the organizational and administrative workload (that affects especially social workers). The winner of the selection procedure was ApuTime. The factors that decided the winner were the presence of an autonomous planner, system flexibility and an extremely simple user interface suitable for ordinary employees who do not use a computer, but only a mobile phone.

Digitalization considerably helps in communication between management and ordinary employees. Moreover, it maximizes the task-handover speed with the limitation of personal contact, which is currently a priority in social welfare services.

How we helped digitization in social services

A part of processes is automatically activated by filling in a form on its website (application for admission, reservation of dates for video-calls, reporting technical defects in a building, and others). The employees of individual departments assign and manage the rest. The necessary documents are stored in a cloud environment. The integration of ApuTime with MS Outlook enables APUtime to be linked with calendars.

How we helped digitization in social services

Process templates

  • Processing of electronic requests for video-calls with clients, meetings with management, etc.
  • Changes in visiting hours (the activation as instructed by the public administration or a facility doctor, management’s decisions, organizational plan, announcements to employees, announcements to clients, information on a website, practical deployment, etc.)
  • Attending to applications for admission (record keeping, assessment, reply, filing into records, continuous audit, archiving of invalid, activation of valid while place release)
  • Social inquiry before the applicant’s admission and acts preceding the admission
  • Admission of new clients (physical admission, accommodation, setting up the services, signing the necessary documents, acceptance and processing of the medical records, selecting the room, room interior adjustments, meeting a key worker, setting up an individual plan, etc.)
  • Attending to the feedback (multiple sources – response to the initiative, its solution, archiving)
  • Solving the cases of emergency (method of solution, its documentation)
  • Training of new employees based on their professions (contract, entry documentation, trial shift, probation  period, feedback, etc.)
