As home care continues to grow and Medicaid continues to change, agencies must find new ways to meet government, patient, and employee demands. Many agencies will struggle to find a balance between providing effective care, ensuring employee satisfaction, and creating operational efficiency.
The best aid in overcoming these challenges is using technology that works in harmony with your agency. From automating administrative tasks to collecting valuable data for growth to providing clinical tools that streamline every visit, the systems you put in place are critical to success.
That being said, here are the best practices for home care agencies in 2023 that can take your business to the next level:
Embrace technology
It’s time to give more work to your EMR software. As healthcare workforce burnout continues to rise, the implementation of systems that simplify and improve everyday workflows will help retain employees and boost productivity.
Agencies that resist digital transformation will soon be left behind. Those still digging through mounds of paper to gather and input information can’t keep up with agencies powered by digital documentation.
Go mobile
Your field staff is mobile, so your clinical tools should be too. Equip your staff with HIPAA-compliant mobile software that makes it simple for nurses to access and input critical information while on the go.
Agencies can save money on equipment costs by using software that can be downloaded to your smartphone. Nurses can efficiently manage Electronic Visit Verification, patient documentation, and client communication everywhere care takes them.
Leverage your data
Better outcomes start with better data. Implementing data-driven home care software can give agencies clear visibility into all operational activities. Understanding how your operations are performing allows you to identify growth opportunities and make informed decisions.
Clear operational visibility allows agencies to develop better processes, identify employee trends, and ensure compliance.
