Benefits of Effective Care Planning in Home Health Care
Staffing and reimbursement challenges will force home healthcare agencies to do more with less while striving to provide quality care to patients. Home Health Care agencies should develop a process enabling clinicians to develop effective, integrated, personalized patient care plans. 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.
Home Care agencies, whether they provide one or more home care services, face a large array of challenges, as the Home Care industry can be fluid and volatile. Consistent staffing challenges, expanding regulatory requirements, inconsistent funding, and complex agency operations are just some out of the many challenges they face, and some agencies can become quickly overwhelmed when any one of these problems rear their heads.
In the third article in the series on how home care agencies can navigate staffing challenges, we look at how scheduling, communications, clinical documentation, alerts and validations at the point of care must integrate on one platform to help you utilize resources optimally.
