The document discusses the challenges facing the adult social care sector in the UK. It notes that the elderly population is growing significantly and will account for 25% of the UK population within 37 years. This is putting pressure on social care providers as they are struggling to deliver necessary care with limited funding, forcing some to end contracts. It also discusses the need to maximize efficiency and save time and money for businesses given tight funding and Brexit uncertainties. It promotes the development of customized software solutions to help care sector organizations address these challenges by saving them time and reducing costs.

Targeting Support: Who Will Welfare Reforms Hit Hardest?
Speakers: Deven Ghelani, Policy in Practice, Guy Chaundy, Birmingham City Council
Event: Inclusion's IntoWork2015 Convention, Wed 15 July 2015, Queen Elizabeth II Conference Centre, London.
The speakers told attendees how data insights are helping reshape the distribution of scarce support resources for two large councils in England.
By analysing data they are collect the councils have gained valuable knowledge about the cumulative impact of welfare reforms on individual households in their respective areas.
What's more, those councils have also forecasted what the likely impact of future welfare reforms will be.
This means they know which households are most vulnerable to cuts, and which will be better off under Universal Credit.
Crucially, these insights allow them to therefore deliver support campaigns where they're most needed.
Deven Ghelani is the director of Policy in Practice, an organisation founded to ensure that policy works for people on the frontline. He was joined by Guy Chaundy from Birmingham City Council.

Helping disabled people into work is the right thing to do. It changes lives.
But it also enhances customers’ and employees’ perceptions of a business. Employees value working for a ‘responsible employer’ and customers reward such employers through their share of spend.

Many thanks to Director magazine and The Institute of Directors (UK) for shining a light on the need for and benefits of increased social mobility across the UK via practical and tangible actions and interventions.
For the UK to better succeed post-Brexit and take greater advantage of more open markets and the 4th industrial (digital) revolution we are going through, we MUST create a fairer society and we must not waste talent across our nation as businesses and other organisations aim to fill the widening skills gap given greater competitive pressures.

Celebrating 150 Years of Sarah A Reed
All of us here at Sarah A. Reed Children’s Center are thrilled to be featured in the April 2021 edition of Business Magazine alongside Gale Magyar and her team at Sarah Reed Senior Living! The article in this special “Women in Leadership” issue celebrates the rich 150-year history of our organization, which was started back in 1871 by Sarah Ann Reed and 30 local women who were committed to improving the lives of Erie County’s most vulnerable population of women, orphans, children and families. In 1986, two independent non-profits formed – Sarah A. Reed Children’s Center and Sarah Reed Senior Living – and they continue to shine brightly and provide the Erie community with compassionate, cutting-edge programs and services. We know Sarah is smiling down on us and would be proud of the great work being done by Adrienne Dixon, Ph.D., Gale Magyar, NHA, CASP, and all the staff members from both agencies, as we continue to carry on Sarah’s legacy of caring and positively impacting the lives of so many individuals and families in our community and the Commonwealth.

Medical Technology Tackles New Health Care Demand - Research Report - March 2...pchutichetpong
M Capital Group (“MCG”) predicts that with, against, despite, and even without the global pandemic, the medical technology (MedTech) industry shows signs of continuous healthy growth, driven by smaller, faster, and cheaper devices, growing demand for home-based applications, technological innovation, strategic acquisitions, investments, and SPAC listings. MCG predicts that this should reflects itself in annual growth of over 6%, well beyond 2028.
According to Chris Mouchabhani, Managing Partner at M Capital Group, “Despite all economic scenarios that one may consider, beyond overall economic shocks, medical technology should remain one of the most promising and robust sectors over the short to medium term and well beyond 2028.”
There is a movement towards home-based care for the elderly, next generation scanning and MRI devices, wearable technology, artificial intelligence incorporation, and online connectivity. Experts also see a focus on predictive, preventive, personalized, participatory, and precision medicine, with rising levels of integration of home care and technological innovation.
The average cost of treatment has been rising across the board, creating additional financial burdens to governments, healthcare providers and insurance companies. According to MCG, cost-per-inpatient-stay in the United States alone rose on average annually by over 13% between 2014 to 2021, leading MedTech to focus research efforts on optimized medical equipment at lower price points, whilst emphasizing portability and ease of use. Namely, 46% of the 1,008 medical technology companies in the 2021 MedTech Innovator (“MTI”) database are focusing on prevention, wellness, detection, or diagnosis, signaling a clear push for preventive care to also tackle costs.
In addition, there has also been a lasting impact on consumer and medical demand for home care, supported by the pandemic. Lockdowns, closure of care facilities, and healthcare systems subjected to capacity pressure, accelerated demand away from traditional inpatient care. Now, outpatient care solutions are driving industry production, with nearly 70% of recent diagnostics start-up companies producing products in areas such as ambulatory clinics, at-home care, and self-administered diagnostics.

Unless a long-term sustainable solution is established to tackle significant sector pressures, a rising
number of elderly and disabled people living longer and with increasingly complex needs, along
with their families, will struggle to receive the personal, dignified care they depend on and deserve.”
