Effective Electronic Visit Verification (EVV) Software for Home Care Agencies
Home Care Agencies providing Home and Community-Based Services face many challenges in implementing EVV solutions to meet CURES Act requirements. Home Care Agencies should take a holistic approach to implementing EVV solutions rather the settling for the solutions provided by the state or managed care providers. Taking an integrated approach will improve operational efficiency and the agencies' bottom line.
Even though home healthcare agencies face many challenges, there are also many upsides. Despite all the challenges facing the home healthcare industry, it will continue to grow and play an integral part in providing care at home. Technology will play a significant role in helping home agencies meet these challenges and continue to grow.
In this article, we discuss how some of these trends are shaping the direction of the home healthcare industry.
