Key Performance Indicators for Home Care – Definition
Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) can play a crucial role in helping home care agencies to meet these challenges, continue to grow, and improve the bottom line. KPIs can help agencies measure current performance, identify areas for improvement, set operational goals, and ensure the goals are met. Understanding KPIs and selecting appropriate ones for the organization will help agencies improve operational efficiency and meet their growth goals.
This blog will discuss the definition of Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) and why they are critical for effectively managing Home Care Agencies.
Even though these rules have now been in vogue for a while, most private duty nursing and non-medical agencies have to strike a careful balance between the high quality and continuity of care they provide and minimizing the overtime cost.
With falling reimbursements from third-party payers, and trying to strike a balance between expectations and quality of service for private pay patients, most home care agencies are trying to adapt their business models to limit caregivers to 40 hours a week.
