Background
Daisy was originally developed by Knowledge Base Systems (KBS) in 2001 under a contract with MECWA Australia. It represents the latest in technology for the computerised support of rostering for in-home personal carers and nurses.
Daisy is a purpose built system specifically designed to be used as an on-line support system for rostering, payroll and invoicing for in-home personal care, nursing, meals and day centres. It has been developed in close collaboration with end-users and is carefully modelled upon actual work practices at client sites.
