A Home Care Agency providing multiple services faces many challenges to meet disparate operational and regulatory requirements for these services. A software platform that helps the agency meet these challenges will be essential for the efficient operation and growth of the agency.
Mark the date for the CareVoyant 16th User Conference
We have scheduled the CareVoyant 16th User Conference for three days starting September 21, 2021, at the Hyatt Regency Hotel in Schaumburg, IL.
After more than a year of challenges and uncertainties due to COVID-19, things are slowly getting back to normal – thanks to the successful development, distribution, and administration of COVID-19 vaccines. The plan is to have our 16th User Conference in person with the hope that the progress will continue throughout the year. We look forward to seeing you all in Schaumburg this year.
Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS) provide Medicaid beneficiaries opportunities to receive services in their own home or community rather than institutions or other isolated settings. These programs serve various targeted population groups, such as people with intellectual or developmental disabilities, physical disabilities, and mental illnesses.
In the absence of other viable public or private options to finance current and future LTSS needs for people of all ages, Medicaid will continue to be the major financing and delivery system for Home and Community Based Services for millions of Americans. Addressing community-based provider shortages and streamlining access to community-based care that supports functional independence and enhancing the quality of life will remain key objectives of states’ rebalancing efforts as the need for Medicaid HCBS continues to grow.
At CareVoyant, we are empowering home and community-based services providers by developing cost-effective software solutions for care delivery and revenue cycle management.
Home Healthcare Industry News
A Huge Victory’: Home Care Turnover Remains Stable at 65.2%
Turnover rates in the home care industry have taken an up-and-down rollercoaster ride over the past few years, jumping from 66.7% in 2019 to 81.6% in 2018, then falling back down to 64.3% in 2019.
Yet in 2020, turnover across U.S. home care agencies remained mostly flat, climbing ever so slightly to an overall rate of 65.2%. It may seem like a counterintuitive thing to say, but that relatively small increase marks “a huge victory” for the industry as a whole, according to Erik Madsen, the CEO of Home Care Pulse.
Why Rush, HCCI Are Bringing Back the Doctor House Call
The idea of a doctor entering the home to treat a patient, a type of medical visit otherwise known as a “house call,” may bring to mind television sitcoms of yesteryear rather than the current health care landscape.
But as the COVID-19 emergency continues and more people start to embrace home-based care, there’s a case being made for more education around house calls for prospective doctors.
Adult Day Centers Revamp Operating Models After COVID Shutdowns, Census Struggles
In light of the COVID-19 emergency, adult day centers across the country were forced to temporarily shut down or operate at a limited capacity. Now, adult day providers are navigating how to safely open back up again.
