Essential Features for Home and Community Based Services Software
Over 3 million individuals receive HCBS through various Medicaid Waiver programs. Most states report having HCBS waiver waiting lists totaling over 692,000 people nationally. Proposed additional funding for HCBS will enable states to reduce their HCBS waiver waiting lists and add more people to HCBS. The need for HCBS services will continue to grow for the foreseeable future.
Home Health Care Agencies looking for growth and expansion should consider HCBS services as one of the options. This blog will discuss 7 must-have software features required to manage HCBS Home Care Agencies efficiently.
Authorization Management plays an outsized role in Revenue Cycle Management. Effective and efficient authorization management will help home care agencies improve the bottom line by reducing non-billable shifts and payroll for non-billable shifts.
Home Care Agencies must leverage technology and integrated intelligent automation to improve authorization management efficiency and enable their staff to do more with less. Reducing revenue leakage and improving cash flow will help agencies improve their bottom lines, provide quality care, and improve patient and employee satisfaction.
Private Duty nurses need to regularly administer the right medication in the right dosage at the right time. An electronic medication administration record can minimize the risk of errors. Unfortunately, most software designed for visit-based agencies does not provide adequate support for eMAR and eTAR.
Private Duty Nursing agencies should look for a software platform that provides efficient eMAR and eTAR functions. Simple, easy-to-use, and dynamic eMAR and eTAR functions will significantly reduce medication and treatment administration errors.
