Are you tired of manually verifying visits? Burned out by daily fire drills while trying to fill open shifts? Frustrated when caregivers aren’t able to clock in and out on time? The answer to your problems might just be an app download away.
Use this Mobile App Marketing Guide to help your agency:
Electronic visit verification (EVV) is the process that uses electronic means like interactive voice response (IVR), fob devices, or mobile apps to verify that care is delivered for personal care or home health services. Agencies use EVV not only to remain compliant with federal requirements, but also as an effective tool to track caregiver arrivals and departures, ensuring clients get the care they need, when they need it. However, all EVV methods are not created equal.
Many providers prefer that their caregivers use the GPS-enabled mobile application for EVV, as it offers certain advantages that traditional EVV methods like IVR and fob devices do not.
The HHAeXchange+ mobile app empowers caregivers with the tools they need to be happier on the job and deliver better care. Let’s quickly dive into the reasons why homecare providers and caregivers alike are enjoying the next-generation mobile app from HHAeXchange.
The app makes clocking in and out fast. On average, caregivers spend 15 seconds clocking in and out on the mobile app versus several minutes on a landline. And agencies spend less time reconciling mobile EVV, with 97% of the support requests around EVV relating to traditional EVV versus just 3% on the mobile app. The mobile app is the fastest and easiest way to clock in and out for shifts.
According to the HCP Benchmarking Report, 81% of homecare agencies had to turn down cases at some point in 2022 due to the caregiver shortage, retaining caregivers is a top priority for most providers. One way to do that is by addressing caregiver frustrations, such as not having control over their schedule. With HHAeXchange+, your caregivers can quickly accept new cases or shifts, automatically get matched to shifts that fit their preferences, and view their schedules/patient details on-the-go, all without ever having to call the office.
The app allows for real-time, two-way chats between the homecare agency and the caregivers. If a problem crops up, your caregivers won’t feel isolated because backup is just a chat away. Worried your caregivers won’t be able to use the app because of a language barrier? Rest assured, the app is available in 23 languages, including Spanish, Vietnamese, and Portuguese. Built with inclusivity in mind, HHAeXchange+ is easy-to-use, accessible, and flexible for service provider needs.
With the app, your caregivers can check patient-specific plans of care and providers can check that duties were performed during patient servicing. Caregivers can also log comprehensive visit notes with images, audio recordings and/or text.
Nagging caregivers about completing compliance requirements is a thing of the past. With the mobile app, they will see upcoming/overdue compliance tasks (medicals, evaluations, in-services) and will be able to get the information they need to complete the requirement. This ensures that your agency is always up to date with state and federal requirements.
You and your caregivers have enough to worry about – getting to the patient’s home on time shouldn’t be one of them. Allow the mobile app GPS to easily navigate caregivers to their next case location.
You want your caregivers to use the app because you know that it will make both your jobs easier, but sometimes it’s hard to convince others to make a change, especially when it involves new technology. So, how do you convince your caregivers to adopt HHAeXchange+?
