Technology solution
One Future prides itself on being a technology-focused business and have created its own custom secure telehealth solution called “OFTEN” which stands for One Future Telehealth Education Network. OFTEN comes with built-in 4G internet to enable secure High Definition (HD) single and multi-party video consultations using a built-in HD 1080p webcam. OFTEN can be remotely managed to give clients information technology support if they are having trouble joining a video consultation or offer simple troubleshooting. OFTEN is securely locked down so that only internet sites that are agreed to by the assessor, agency and family are available to the client whilst involved in the program. OFTEN, also come preloaded with links to education tailored to the family and their situation with clients able to access information on government services and other beneficial websites.
The Program
Offering a 4, 8 or 12-week program that focuses on using secure telehealth video conferencing with carers, children, young people and their families. The program consists of an initial face to face consultation with the family where they will be provided with an internet-enabled 4G telehealth laptop or tablet to use during the program duration. Each qualified worker assigned to a family will contact them each week for consultation, education and support for up to three sessions per week.
The focus of each program is tailored to the client’s needs, however, our expertise is in:
- Carer reviews and assessments
- Restoration support inclusive of whole of family
- Placement stability for families in OOHC and preventing placement breakdown
- Parenting education and supports
- Case plan reviews and goal setting
- Pre-natal and Family Group Conferencing
Each OFTEN program is designed to support case plan goals and with the aim of keeping children and young people safe from harm and involved in decision-making about their lives.
