Enhancing Care Team Communication to Improve Quality of Care
Using separate communication tools can lead to poor communication between caregivers, clinicians, administrative staff, physicians, and patients. If messaging, eFax, and charting tools are provided through disparate means, communication becomes inefficient and there is more risk of creating HIPAA-compliance issues and information silos.
Connecting the care team under ONE Home Care Software will lead to improved patient satisfaction, more productive employees, enhanced compliance with regulatory requirements, and more successful patient outcomes.
Is your home care agency struggling with accounts receivable (AR) sitting unpaid for over 90 days?
High AR can choke cash flow, delay payroll, and strain daily operations—threatening both your agency’s stability and compliance. In home care, where margins are tight and reimbursement complex, even small delays can snowball into financial risk.
Here’s the good news: most AR problems are preventable, given you develop the right strategies. In this blog, we break down the common causes of AR over 90 days and show you proven solutions to improve cash flow, streamline billing, and protect your agency’s financial health.
