PIRKKO® Brings Quality and Impact to Social and Health Services
PIRKKO® is a comprehensive care management system that guides and optimizes care or client plans, saving resources while improving work quality and impact. The ultimate goal of the PIRKKO system is the health and well-being of people.
Benefits of the PIRKKO® System
Patient at the Center of Care
Thanks to the PIRKKO® system, the patient is at the center of care. Initial surveys, jointly set goals with the patient, and everyday tasks are concrete tools that allow the worker to work together with the patient. At the same time, tracking the patient’s progress is easy and visual.
Support for the Employee
PIRKKO® provides a framework for the work and supports adherence to the care plan. It is a tool for care planning, allowing the evaluation of whether the patient’s care is heading in the right direction. The system structures work and helps manage client loads. Thanks to PIRKKO, prioritizing clients is also more agile.
More Efficient Management
PIRKKO® is a care management system that supports data-driven management and, consequently, data-driven care. PIRKKO® analyzes and enriches existing client and patient data, enabling statistics, monitoring, and comparison, as well as reorganization and change management. Management becomes more efficient thanks to PIRKKO.
Properly Allocated Resources
With the PIRKKO® system, the predictability of care improves, and it is possible to reduce care queues as resources can be allocated more accurately and workload distributed more evenly. Proper allocation can thus simultaneously solve the shortage of nurses and resources in the social and health care sector.
PIRKKO® is an effective tool for management, increasing transparency in work and costs, and clarifying grassroots work.
