A Home Care Agency providing multiple services faces many challenges to meet disparate operational and regulatory requirements for these services. A software platform that helps the agency meet these challenges will be essential for the efficient operation and growth of the agency.

In this special edition on the features of Home Health Care Software, we talk about 5 key features - Scheduling Efficiency, Electronic Visit Verification, Continuous Care Documentation, EMAR/ETAR, and Revenue Cycle Management.

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.

A comprehensive, integrated software platform that provides multiple communication tools that are easy to use is essential for effective communication to improve quality of care, patient satisfaction, operational efficiency, and compliance.

Providing continuous care in a longer shift creates unique documentation challenges for nurses and Private Duty Home Care agencies.

A software platform should accommodate the challenges of Continuous Care Documentation for Private Duty Nursing Home Care Agencies.

Private Duty Nursing is different from your traditional home health as it requires skilled care for medically fragile patients. The care is typically provided in longer shifts from 8 to 12 hours and for a limited number of patients over a longer period of time. In the Private Duty Nursing field, the nurse or LPN gets to know the patient as a person and can really become quite attached to their patient. The care provided can be in multiple settings such as the patient's home, school, or even a group home setting.

CareVoyant understands the demanding requirements to manage Home and Community Based Services while managing other services like Private Duty Nursing, Non-Medical Personal Care, and Home Health.

Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS) provide Medicaid beneficiaries opportunities to receive services in their own home or community rather than institutions or other isolated settings. These programs serve various targeted population groups, such as people with intellectual or developmental disabilities, physical disabilities, and mental illnesses.

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.

Home Care agencies providing Private Duty Nursing should look for a software platform that provides easy to use and efficient eMAR and eTAR functions. Simple, easy-to-use, and dynamic eMAR and eTAR functions will significantly reduce medication and treatment administration errors.
