Mobile technology is infiltrating every aspect of our lives and the home health business is no exception. There are many advantages to using mobile technology – Electronic Visit Verification (EVV), HIPAA-compliant instant messaging, saving time and money on paperwork, and many other features.

It’s exciting to think of the operational efficiencies. Does your software provide mobile access to your software via a tablet or Smartphone? If not, you may want to consider switching to software that does. Here’s why:

# 1 More focus on patient care – being only a keystroke away when the nurse or therapist is in the home, means more patient-centered care and real-time reporting.

# 2 Bottom-line Savings – saving time on data entry time and decreased errors in reporting means less administrative time spent on correcting errors.

# 3 Compliance -- accountability is everything and the days of having a signature on paper as a way to verify services is over. Mobile EVV with GPS improves accountability and efficiency by ensuring care is delivered to care recipients when and where providers claim they are delivering those services.

# 4 Job satisfaction – care providers will appreciate the time they save on extensive data entry at the end of the day. Verifying visits at the point of care means more time spent on patient care and less time on paperwork and accurately calculating time and mileage helps keep providers and agency reimbursements in check.

# 5 Easier Scheduling – providers can access their schedule and see appointments in real-time. Even if they are in transit, they can quickly re-route or find the quickest way to their destination with GPS. Since all providers can see schedules, there can be less overlap or time spent on missed visits.

# 6 Capitalizing on the latest technology – As an agency, keeping up with the best technology is vital to growth. Technology will only play a bigger and bigger role in the entire health care industry; therefore being proactive will go a long way in helping agencies thrive.
