beads Corporation Introduces ZEST to Enhance Hospice Care Quality and Operational Efficiency

beads Corporation Adopts ZEST for Hospice Care Enhancement

In a significant move to streamline its hospice housing operations, beads Corporation (headquartered in Fukuoka, Japan) is implementing the ZEST system designed to optimize caregiving schedules. This decision is part of beads' strategy to expand its reach while maintaining high-care standards and operational efficiency.

Background of the Implementation

The vision of beads Corporation’s hospice housing, known as “Beads no Ie,” is to create a future where each individual can select their personal end-of-life journey. As the organization gears up for expansion primarily in the Kyushu region, the standardization of operations becomes essential. Ensuring operational transparency and visualizing staff workloads are vital steps toward improving the quality of management and care provided.

Staff members have expressed the need to focus on delivering compassionate and meticulous care. To realize effective facility management, there must be a structured system enabling staff to work comfortably and provide quality care without distractions. Therefore, adopting ZEST will help visualize the operations of each facility and streamline processes, facilitating improvements in efficiency and profitability.

Expected Benefits of ZEST Implementation

With the integration of ZEST, beads Corporation anticipates numerous benefits, including:

Optimization of Operations

ZEST will assist in managing intricate scheduling situations, such as balancing bath facility usage and adhering to the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare's 'two-hour rule' for home care services. The system aims to create smoother coordination among staff, which will stabilize the quality of care delivered.

Enhanced Productivity and Sustainable Business Operations

ZEST’s dashboard will allow for the timely visualization of staff activity, enhancing productivity and ensuring high-quality care with limited resources. This functionality also promotes seamless connections with potential clients, cultivating new relationships within the community.

Leveraging Key Performance Indicators (KPIs)

Building upon existing KPIs, ZEST will facilitate monitoring metrics such as visit frequency, utilization rates, and staff workload balance. This shift not only enhances decision-making quality but also ensures staff efforts are appropriately recognized and rewarded.

Ensuring Appropriate Care

ZEST’s ability to visualize service delivery schedules will enable a higher adherence level to care requirements. This will refine audit processes while providing a robust foundation for delivering care that respects each individual's dignity and uniqueness.
