Benefits of Effective Care Planning in Home Health Care
The number of Americans in the age group of 64 years and older will reach 80 million by 2040. In the next 40 years, this number is likely to double. The number of adults in the age group of 85 years and older will also increase exponentially. The desire of older adults to age at home is significantly increasing the need for home health care services.
Staffing and reimbursement challenges will force home healthcare agencies to do more with less while striving to provide quality care to patients. Effective care planning processes will help home healthcare agencies leverage technology and software platforms to improve the quality of care provided to patients at their homes.
21st Century Cures Act supports seamless and secure access, exchange, and use of electronic health information. The rule is designed to give patients, and their healthcare providers secure access to health information.
Successful implementation of EVV at home care agencies will require a complete understanding of EVV requirements by states and selecting the right partner to meet those disparate and complex requirements.
Home-based services are changing the way patients receive care. There has been growing demand for home-based services, with the home care market forecasted to grow by 50% over 5 years, from $226 billion in 2022 to $340 billion by 2027. As the demand for home care grows, software designed for home care advances alongside.
Home Care Software should provide home care agencies with tools to not only improve operational efficiency, but also personalize patient care to ensure high-quality, long-lasting patient outcomes. From Patient Intake and Scheduling to real-time communication and documentation, the right Home Care Software will enable home care agencies to tailor care to each patient’s unique requirements.
