Leveraging technology and the right software platform will help Private Duty Nursing Home Care Agencies to implement strategies to effectively manage Electronic Medication and Treatment Administration and ensure patient safety.
Finding the right software for In-Home Outpatient Therapy
As most Home Health Care agencies already provide Therapy Services as part of the Medicare Part A program, providing Outpatient Therapy Services at home under Medicare Part B or commercial payers will be a natural extension of services. Home Health Care agencies do not require any additional licenses to provide outpatient therapy services and the rapid rise in demand for in-home outpatient services provides additional revenue opportunities for agencies.
A software platform designed to handle both home health care and outpatient services will provide a unique advantage to agencies.
Navigating the Challenges of Private Duty Nursing with Technology
Private Duty Home Care agencies can use the right technology and software platform to manage the challenges posed by unique and demanding requirements of providing skilled care at home. Using the right tools will enable home health care agencies to bring operational efficiencies to the organization and take advantage of these new opportunities.
PDGM Notice of Admission and Imperatives for Home Healthcare Agencies
Starting January 1, 2022, Medicare will require Home Health Agencies to submit a one-time Notice of Admission (NOA) instead of Request for anticipated Payment (RAP). Medicare has been phasing out RAP payments for the last two years. The NOA is a one-time submission that establishes the HH POC and covers 30-day payment periods until the patient is discharged.
Software platforms will have to be adjusted to accommodate the new PDGM billing process. The following are some of the requirements.
Benefits of High-Quality Clinical Documentation for Home Health Care Agencies
Home Health Care Agencies should implement Clinical Documentation Improvement (CDI) programs to understand that clinical documentation starts at referral and must be managed throughout patient care (Admit through Discharge). Home care agencies should identify characteristics for quality documentation and implement a CDI program.
Effective HR and Payroll Management Process for Home Care Agencies
Understanding Private Duty Home Care Services and the need for specialized software
Optimal management of resources is a priority for Home Care agencies providing clinical and non-clinical services. With strict federal regulations around verification of visits, clinical documentation, and billing for services, they must look for software that helps them schedule caregiver visits optimally, document visits, and bill on time.
A Primer on Home and Community-Based Services
Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS) provide Medicaid beneficiaries opportunities to receive services in their own home or community rather than institutions or other isolated settings. These programs serve various targeted population groups, such as people with intellectual or developmental disabilities, physical disabilities, and mental illnesses.

Tools to Improve the Quality of Clinical Documentation in Home Health Care

Home care agencies should identify key characteristics of the clinical documentation, come up with the right Clinical Documentation Improvement program, and use the right software platform with tools to monitor and improve the quality of clinical documentation.
