The University of the West of Scotland have completed their evaluation report on Phase 1 and Phase 2 of the Proactive Telecare Outbound Calling Tests of Change Project.

This is the evaluation summary report which highlights the impact; feasibility; readiness to scale; and customer, carer and staff experience feedback as well as the full evaluation report.

This evaluation was commissioned and jointly funded by the Digital Health & Care Innovation Centre (DHI) and the TEC Programme.

Use this map to find technology hubs in Scotland. 

Technology hubs are places where you can go to find out about how you might use things like mobile phones, apps for your tablet, or voice assistants. They may also have information about how to access services which use technology, like telecare.

You could also find out how to access an online appointment or find out to talk to a health professional or your bank using a video call.

In Phase One, three test sites developed and delivered targeted, proactive wellbeing calls, and aimed to identify factors that are critical for a person-centred, strengths-based, safe and effective approach.  

The focus was on identifying and recruiting their target population, personalising their approach to calls, risk identification and management, staff development, training and support, and liaising, referring and sign-posting to other services and community supports.
