Updates to two new LeadingAge CAST Technology Selection Tools enable aging services providers to choose their tech solutions wisely.

The infection control technology and shared care planning and coordination tools include white papers with detailed information on the technologies. The online matrices and selection tools show the products on the market and enable providers to determine which solutions best fit their organization’s needs.

The Infection Control Technologies Selection Tool now includes updated information on 16 products. It also features one new product, from OhmniLabs. The OhmniClean autonomous UV disinfection robot utilizes UV-C light to eliminate 99.99% of pathogens—and yields considerable long-term cost savings.

Shared care planning and coordination involves deliberately organizing processes created by different entities, such as an organization, health care entity or a care team from different organizations, with the goal of ensuring quality comprehensive care. Enabling technologies include interoperability, structured and unstructured data from different sources, a terminology platform that can map between standard vocabularies and locally created content, health information exchange, information repositories, and application program interfaces.

The Shared Care Planning and Coordination Online Tool now features updated information on 10 products.
