For retirement facilities

The bigger picture
South Africa is ageing, and care needs to come to the resident.
South Africa's older population is growing: about 6.1 million South Africans are now 60 or older, and their share of the population keeps rising. Older people live with more chronic conditions, take more medicines, and are more easily harmed by a delay in care.
Yet for many residents, seeing a doctor still means waiting for the next round, or a tiring trip to a practice. PRIME closes that gap: your nurses assess on site, and a doctor reviews remotely whenever a case needs one.

When a resident is unwell
From waiting for the round, to care the same day.
A resident who becomes unwell between doctor's visits, puts your team in a difficult position: wait, or arrange transport. PRIME gives you a better option.
Without PRIME
- The problem is noted, and the resident waits for the doctor's next visit.
- Or the resident is transported to a practice, often an exhausting outing.
- Notes are handwritten and incomplete, and chronic medication is easy to miss.
- Families phone for answers that the team cannot easily give.
With PRIME
- The nurse completes a structured assessment at the bedside, guided step by step.
- PRIME suggests the diagnosis and the guideline treatment, with danger signs screened.
- Whenever a case requires it, a doctor reviews the prescription remotely and edits or signs it off.
- A complete record of every assessment, so your team can answer families with confidence.

Every case that requires a doctor is reviewed by an HPCSA-registered doctor, who edits or signs off the prescription remotely.
- 03
Immediate access to care
Residents are assessed on site as soon as they are unwell, without waiting for a round or arranging transport.
- 04

Remote doctor review
A doctor's oversight, without waiting for the doctor.
Your nurses remain the clinicians at the bedside. When a resident's treatment needs a doctor, PRIME sends the prescription and a structured case summary to an HPCSA-registered doctor, who reviews it remotely and edits or signs it off.
It brings a doctor's judgement into your facility for every case that requires one, at R65 per reviewed script.
- Structured diagnosis and prescription
- Remote review by an HPCSA-registered doctor
