Revolutionizing Home Care in Ghana: AnsMed Introduces Early Warning Scoring System (EWSS)
At AnsMed Home Care Ltd, we believe that quality home care isn’t just about helping clients with daily tasks—it’s about acting fast when things start to go wrong. That’s why we’re proud to introduce the Early Warning Scoring System (EWSS) into our home care operations across Ghana.
This simple yet powerful tool is designed to help caregivers detect early signs of health deterioration in clients—before it becomes an emergency.
What Is the Early Warning Scoring System (EWSS)?
EWSS is a structured tool developed by AnsMed to help caregivers detect early signs of health deterioration through a simple daily scoring process. It focuses on observing subtle changes in a client’s physical and behavioral condition—without needing any medical equipment.
The system monitors a few key indicators that are easily observable in the home setting. For example, a caregiver might take note of changes in the client’s breathing pattern, mental alertness, or appetite. These changes, though sometimes small, can be the first signs that something is not right.
What makes this tool unique is its simplicity and relevance to the Ghanaian context. It can be used confidently by caregivers with basic training, helping them provide not just support—but real clinical insight from the comfort of a client’s home.
Why This Matters in Ghana’s Home Care Landscape
Home care clients—especially older adults or those with chronic illnesses—often show subtle signs of deterioration before a crisis occurs. In many Ghanaian homes, these early warnings are missed due to lack of monitoring systems.
With EWSS:
- Caregivers score the client’s condition daily.
- If the score crosses a critical threshold, it automatically triggers a response—such as a nurse review or escalation to a medical team.
- This improves response time, reduces preventable hospital admissions, and enhances client safety.
Empowering Caregivers with Simple, Life-Saving Tools
One of the unique aspects of the AnsMed EWSS is its accessibility. Designed specifically for home care in Ghana, it does not require digital gadgets or medical devices. A trained caregiver can use it confidently as part of daily care routines—making it both cost-effective and practical.
“We want every caregiver to feel empowered, not just to care, but to detect, respond, and protect,” says Prince Assandoh-Mensah, Managing Director of AnsMed Home Care Ltd.
What Makes Our EWSS Unique?
- ✅ Ghanaian context-specific – no need for machines or monitors
- ✅ Daily use by caregivers – integrated into care workflows
- ✅ Scoring system triggers timely intervention
- ✅ Tailored training provided across all AnsMed care teams
Looking Ahead: A New Standard for Home Care in Ghana
AnsMed Home Care is not just introducing a tool—we’re setting a new standard. The EWSS will be integrated into:
- Client onboarding and assessments
- Monthly clinical audits
- In-service training programs
We believe this innovation will shape the future of community-based care, reduce emergency events, and give families greater peace of mind.
