Streamline Patient-Clinician Matching with Private Duty Home Care Software
Ninety-one percent of home care patients express satisfaction with their caregivers, underscoring the importance of compatibility in a caregiver-patient relationship. Furthermore, scheduling the same caregiver to the same patient over longer periods of time leads to higher patient satisfaction rates, highlighting the benefits of care continuity.
Making compatible matches involves navigating the diverse clinical needs, preferences, and personalities of the patients and clinicians. Just this process can be overwhelming for schedulers. However, with assistance from the right Private Duty Nursing Software, clinician-patient matching can be streamlined to improve a home care agency’s operational efficiency, bottom line, and overall care quality.
Private Duty Home Care is an often overlooked but fast-growing market. The market value of Private Duty services stood at almost $610 billion in 2023. That value is set to grow 7% by 2032, leaving it at a whopping $1176 billion.
This growth is due to senior population growth, rising demand for personalized care, and advancements in medical technology which allow skilled services to be tracked and delivered at the patient’s home. Real-time monitoring is an essential piece of this puzzle.
Unique, complex, and demanding scheduling requirements of Private Duty Nursing pose many challenges to home care agencies providing Private Duty Nursing Care. Scheduling is the lifeline of a Private Duty Home Care Agency. Effective scheduling maximizes staff utilization, reduces scheduling errors, reduces payroll costs, improves patient and employee satisfaction, and improves the agency's bottom line.
Private Duty Nursing Home Care Agencies should leverage technology and intelligent automation to improve scheduling efficiency. A Home Care Agency Management software platform with efficient scheduling tools will improve the operational efficiency of Private Duty Nursing Home Care Agencies.
