Private Duty Nursing Agencies should choose software that addresses their unique clinical documentation, scheduling, and billing requirements. The software should be easy-to-use and enable Nurses to keep up with continuous care documentation during the shift while providing efficiency in communicating changes in real-time to the nurse at the point-of-care.
Further, the requirements of home care services are many and the software should allow for rendering of other services without needing to switch between multiple software platforms. An integrated software platform across these multiple lines of service can provide one patient and employee record to alleviate many of these issues.
Benefits of Using an Integrated Software Platform for your Home Care Agency
An integrated software platform across these multiple lines of service - Private Duty Nursing, Private Duty Non-Medical Personal Care, and Home Health - can provide one patient and employee record to alleviate many issues Home Care Agencies face.

Understanding the Conditions of Participation for Home Health Agencies
Home health agencies (HHAs) are highly regulated—anyone who has worked in home health knows how true this is. They come under scrutiny from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), states and accrediting organizations, as well as other entities such as the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, etc.
With the new home health Conditions of Participation (CoPs) in full effect after being introduced in 2018, it is even more difficult for agencies to comply. Many of the CoPs are difficult to implement and/or monitor when the agency is doing the day-to-day business of taking care of patients.
The Nurse Practitioner Workforce is Booming — And That’s Good for Home Health Providers
From 2010 to 2017, the number of nurse practitioners in the United States more than doubled from 91,000 to 190,000, a new study published in Health Affairs found. The study draws from the Census Bureau’s American Community Survey. Although researchers didn’t analyze the nurse practitioner's (NP) boom’s effect on home-based care directly, there are some key takeaways providers need to recognize. For starters, the larger pool of NPs to work with will likely bring new hiring opportunities for providers, perhaps shaking up their current workforce breakdown.
