Strategies to Improve Employee Retention in Home Care
The bottom line of a home care agency is directly affected by the home care employee’s satisfaction, dedication, and engagement. It is of the utmost importance that home care agencies address these issues through adjusting their recruitment strategy, pouring resources into new hires, and utilizing home care software to optimize their agency from intake, all the way to billing and collections.
In the second article in the series on how home care agencies can navigate staffing challenges, we look at how efficient authorization management and scheduling can help home care agencies to get the most out of limited resources. CareVoyant offers excellent integrated scheduling, authorization, clinical documentation, RCM, and payroll functions that reduce workload and improve operational efficiency.
At CareVoyant, we have a strategic focus on improving operational efficiency and have made it a central theme of our development efforts. We empower home care agencies with features that will help them do more with less across care coordination, scheduling, and revenue cycle management functions. This article looks deeply at how each functional area can contribute to optimal reimbursement and accelerate cash flow.
