Telstra Health’s decision to discontinue support for various software products is having a significant impact among Australian aged care providers, forcing them to quickly seek an alternative solution to find a replacement to ensure the uninterrupted delivery of services to their customers.
With Community Connect being the first to be discontinued in September 2023, Telstra Health products like Home Care Manager (HCM), ComCare, and The Care Manager (TCM) are next in line, with the cut-off dates for support fast approaching in March 2024.
The journey of switching over from Telstra Health software to a new Care Management System (CMS) will involve numerous steps, from configuring the software in order to meet the provider’s business requirements, to migrating data and training staff on the use of the new system.
