Henderson Haven has always believed technology can assist those we serve as well as assisting our staff in serving them.  We're committed to using available technologies as well as developing our own ideas and programs.  You'll see several new developments in this area coming this year.

 

While Henderson Haven already has lending equipment such as communication devices, we're determined to keep pace by adding new advanced devices as they become available.  Watch for new and exciting products like the Tango Talk and the Cyrano coming to our lending library in 2010!  We also believe in using technology to help our staff and professional partners in providing services and keeping up with training and continued education.

 

We have already invested in the i>clicker response system for use in our quarterly staff meetings.  This system enables staff to give immediate feedback to instruction as well as allow us to receive reports on individual responses to presentation questions.  This gives us a record of how each staff person is doing when it comes to learning and growing.  And lets face it, that's the first step in providing the best possible services available.  We don't stop there.  Making information available to others is also important.

 

Henderson Haven is developing a secure web based network that will make it possible for support coordinators as well as family members to receive service reports faster than ever before.  Staff will enter service notes after each shift on a secure network that meets all HIPA requirements.  After the notes have been confirmed by management, they will automatically be emailed to the support coordinator and family if they wish.  Staff will also be able to use the system to share information about area activities, ideas and solutions for problems they may be encountering or just share a great story about someone making great progress.  It's another way Henderson Haven remains second to none when it comes to innovative support services in North Florida.
