Every third municipality in the country using social alarm with major flaws, it shows a survey of the National Board.
elderly woman has fallen ill in his apartment, and becomes flat. She triggers the security alarm via a small red button on the wrist. assistance comes after a few minutes. So it should work, but does not always.
Among the so-called analog alarm reaches up to five never made it to the dispatcher, according to Telia. Nevertheless, using about every third municipality alone just such analog security alarms.
The technology shift to the safer digital models now need to go faster. So says the National Board investigator, Dick Lindberg:
– The serious thing is that so few municipalities have chosen to digitize. It is only eight percent who chose to digitize all their alarms and 30 percent did not started the process, he says.
What is this?
– We believe well that it is partly about money. It will be a hump when to buy new technology and introduce new ways of working. But I also think it’s partly about knowledge, how serious it is that it can not run analog alarms in the digital networks as they do today, says Dick Lindberg.
Around 212 000 security alarm are the elderly, the sick and the disabled in the country’s municipalities. That is also the municipalities that are responsible for the alarms can mean the difference between life and death.
– All the social must be of good quality. If not then make sure that you have alarms that do not work in all situations and you have not met the Social Services Act in that sense, says Dick Lindberg.
