This blog will explain what CDS are and why they are growing, explore the challenges and benefits CDS present to home care agencies, and lay out how home care management software can help home care agencies face those challenges head on while also reaping the benefits of growing CDS. 

Selecting the best home care management software for your agency is a challenging, yet crucial decision. The demand for home care is growing, and most agencies are looking for efficient, integrated, and compliant solutions to meet customers’ ever-increasing demands. However, beyond just the normal prerequisites, your Home Care Agency should look for the critical factor that distinguishes a mere software provider from a true companion in your agency's growth: partnership.

While demand for Home Care Services continues to grow, increased regulatory requirements and a labor force shortage will pose many challenges to the cash flow and bottom line of Home Health Care Agencies. Authorization, Plan of Care, and Physician Order Management will lead to potential unbilled and denied claims. Home Care Agencies are forced to do more with less just to keep from falling behind in cash flow and the bottom line.

Collecting accurate information from different staff, then processing payroll data accurately and in a timely manner is intricate, time-consuming, and challenging. Though collecting payroll information on time is often challenging, prompt and accurate payroll is one of the most important criteria to improving employee satisfaction and retention in Home Health Care.
