How Integrated eFax Improves Home Health Care Quality
Home care employees can save time by using home care software with an integrated eFax solution. Integrated eFax allows employees to send and receive the plan of care, physician orders, and clinical notes directly from the software itself. Administrators can track outgoing faxes and attach incoming faxes directly to the patient’s notes.
Having integrated eFax can significantly improve the efficiency of care coordination and ensure compliance with physician orders. Integrated eFax makes home health care agencies nimbler when changes in care occur, improving the care quality home health care agencies provide.
Home Care will continue to evolve in the breadth and complexity of services offered. Providers that can better serve both patients and referral sources across the continuum of need will have an advantage. The right home care software will ensure home care agencies can take full advantage of new opportunities.
It’s not uncommon for home care agencies to put off investing in the right software for operational efficiency. Here are 5 signs that your agency needs to invest in new home care software to take on the changing industry landscape.
