FAQs

1. What is OneTouch and why is it replacing DNL (Total Mobile)?

OneTouch is a care delivery platform that will replace Totalmobile on all DNL tablets. You currently use Totalmobile on your shifts for care planning and care recording, but we are switching to OneTouch because it provides enhanced functionality to better support care delivery.

Key improvements include electronic Medication Administration Records (eMAR) and additional tools to make recording and managing care more efficient. OneTouch will be the main platform on DNL tablets, offering a more complete and user-friendly solution that helps you deliver the best possible care to clients.

2. How will OneTouch improve login and PIN access?

You will access the DNL tablet in the same way as before. Once logged into the tablet, you will log into OneTouch using your individual username and password before proceeding to the designated client record. There will no longer be a need for a one-time PIN to access and record care, as was required in Totalmobile. Your username, password, and activation details will be shared with you separately.

3. Will all shift details appear correctly on OneTouch?

You do not need to start a shift to record client care in OneTouch. Once logged into the OneTouch application, simply navigate to the respective client and start recording care. If you are unable to see a client, please contact your dedicated care coordination team.

4. Will OneTouch include all the correct client forms and documentation options?

All essential documentation you need to care for a client will be available in OneTouch. 

5. Will care plans be easier to access on OneTouch?

In OneTouch, you can view care plans either as a single complete document or by individual sections, making it quicker and easier to find the information you need when delivering care. 

6. How will OneTouch improve communication when technical issues arise?

If you experience any technical issues, please contact your dedicated care coordination team in the first instance, using the contact details below. They are trained to handle issues efficiently and effectively and will escalate to technical support if needed.

7. Will OneTouch allow documentation during poor network connection?

The OneTouch app records care in real time and requires a network connection to process data. However, if your DNL tablet is not connected to the local Wi-Fi network, it is SIM-enabled to communicate with the platform using a mobile network. This means you can continue recording care even when Wi-Fi is unavailable, ensuring that all client documentation is captured securely and without interruption

8. Will OneTouch stop delays in receiving PINs and access codes that we had with DNL (Total Mobile)?

OneTouch does not use a PIN or access code to document care. You will receive your username and password separately, and once your account is activated, you can reset your password yourself if needed. This removes the delays previously experienced with DNL and makes accessing the system quicker and easier, so you can focus on delivering care.

9. Will training for OneTouch be face-to-face and paid?

Training for OneTouch will be provided through guides and videos, which are available on this page above. You will also find guides directly within the OneTouch application on your DNL tablet when logged in.

In addition to these resources, your Clinical Lead will provide hands-on guidance, helping you apply the system confidently when recording client care. At the same time, our dedicated Workforce Engagement Team will be available to answer practical or process-related questions, support you in navigating the platform, and ensure you feel informed and confident throughout the phased rollout and beyond

10. Will OneTouch improve documentation for TPN, medication tasks, and clinical procedures?

OneTouch will enhance documentation for TPN, medication tasks, and clinical procedures, making recording more accurate and efficient. Some of these features will be released in phase 2 of the OneTouch roll out, so they will not be available immediately, but they will be rolled out as part of the system’s ongoing improvements.

11. Will OneTouch make communication more transparent and handovers much smoother?

OneTouch improves access to client documentation and includes features that make communication and handovers easier. For example, notes can be tagged so they are readily available in handover documentation. With new features being rolled out regularly, you can be confident that information is easier to find, share, and act on, helping you deliver safe and seamless care.

12. Can OneTouch be used to escalate safety or equipment concerns?

If you experience any technical issues or have safety or equipment concerns, please contact your dedicated care coordination team in the first instance. They are trained to handle issues efficiently and escalate them as required, ensuring concerns are addressed quickly and effectively so you can continue delivering safe care.
