Purchaser Software
Valuing Care’s Purchaser software enables commissioners to record, analyse and control all their complex packages of care in one place.
By combining individual case records with Valuing Care’s models, commissioners can easily:
- Purchase a new placement in any care home in the country knowing they are receiving value for money
- Understand overall profitability of an existing placement
- Measure the sustainability of specific cases and analyse their underlying cost.
- Inflate placements individually based on their underlying profitability and cost
The software enables practitioners to specify individual needs, including the shared care, individual hours and therapies and then calculate the associated model price for a placement anywhere in England, Scotland and Wales.
