Nursing home software that saves time on documentation

Less writing for nurses, more time for residents.

Nursing homes need detailed, accurate documentation, but nurses are short on time. TransmissionsPro turns spoken observations into structured nursing notes, with vital signs and alerts picked out automatically.

The Hong Kong context

Nursing homes care for residents with the highest needs and operate under their own Code of Practice, including requirements on individual care plans. With care workers in short supply, reducing documentation time is one of the most direct ways to protect care time.

In depth

Hong Kong's residential care landscape

As at 31 March 2025, subsidised residential places were provided by 120 subvented homes (15,284 places), 50 contract homes (4,527 places), 196 private homes in the Enhanced Bought Place Scheme (11,216 places) and 6 subvented nursing homes (1,574 places). All residential care homes for the elderly are licensed under Cap. 459 and must follow the SWD Code of Practice, revised in June 2024.

Nursing homes have their own Code of Practice

Nursing homes licensed under Cap. 459 follow a separate Code of Practice for Residential Care Homes (Nursing Homes) for the Elderly, revised in June 2024. It includes chapters on health and care services, a dedicated section on the Individual Care Plan and requirements on records such as the record of infectious diseases. Nursing documentation is therefore both clinical and regulatory.

An acute shortage of care workers

In 2023 the government launched the Special Scheme to Import Care Workers for Residential Care Homes to tackle what it called an acute shortage. The quota is capped at 7,000 imported care workers, with priority for local workers preserved. Teams are therefore more mixed than ever, and clear, structured records help new and experienced staff work from the same information.
