Selecting Pediatric Private Duty Nursing Software - What Home Care Agencies need to look for
Recognize that the needs of Private Duty Nursing for pediatric care are very specific. While this could be a profitable service line, the requirements such as round-the-clock nursing, ability to connect with children, more complex scheduling, and most importantly, the right nursing talent, make this a very challenging area.
Millions of patients receive home care every year. For Home Care Agencies, timely and effective communication among the care team plays a critical role in providing quality patient care. Connected Care Team will lead to successful patient outcomes, improved patient satisfaction, improved employee satisfaction, and growth while being compliant with regulatory requirements. Using disparate means of communication will lead to poor communication, inefficient process, and care team members working in silos.
Home Health Care agencies should take a holistic view of their needs for a software platform rather than just focusing on their EVV needs. Using an integrated home care software platform to meet all the requirements of a home care agency will provide significant benefits that will outweigh the cost savings of ‘Free’ EVV.
