The ROC Solution: A Direct Impact on Patient Health and Hospital Admissions
Why UTIs occur: Dehydration can lead to concentrated urine, which becomes an optimal environment for bacterial growth, leading to UTIs.
ROC’s Role: By monitoring hydration levels using the ROC App, carers can ensure that individuals maintain appropriate fluid levels. With timely fluid intake, the risk of UTIs diminishes significantly, reducing the need for hospital admissions due to complications.
The Link between Hydration and Falls: Dehydration can cause a drop in blood pressure, leading to dizziness or fainting. Dehydrated individuals may also experience muscle weakness or cramps, further increasing fall risk.
How ROC Helps: The ROC Methodology educates carers on the signs of dehydration, ensuring timely intervention. The ROC App further facilitates real-time tracking, enabling immediate corrective action, such as providing fluids, before symptoms escalate.
Understanding the Threat: Overprescribing antibiotics, especially when not needed, contributes to antimicrobial resistance. As bacteria become resistant, common infections become harder to treat, leading to longer illnesses and more hospital admissions.
ROC’s Contribution: Many avoidable illnesses, like UTIs due to dehydration, often lead to unnecessary antibiotic prescriptions. By mitigating the root cause (dehydration), the ROC Methodology indirectly reduces the reliance on antibiotics. With fewer antibiotics prescribed unnecessarily, the risk of antimicrobial resistance is curtailed.
The Bigger Picture: With the ROC App and Methodology in place, care homes don’t just ensure hydration. They play a pivotal role in reducing hospital admissions, ensuring patient well-being, and combating a global health concern: antimicrobial resistance.
Invest in Health, Invest in ROC: Embrace the ROC approach to not only uplift care standards but to play a vital part in ensuring healthier communities. [Call to Action: Elevate Care with ROC Today!]

Carers have been monitoring hydration a lot more in the care home since adopting the ROC app.
ROC has had a positive impact on hydration care and improved a good ethos around hydration.
It is good to have the information right there and then about how much each resident has had to drink.
It gives more of an importance and flags up if something is wrong or could go wrong and gives feedback on how to manage it before it goes to an illness.
Quick, easy, accessible.
Surprisingly easy even for those who are not confident with technology.
Highlighted and focused on repeated antibiotic use and implications of that.
