I didn't want to force fit my agency's work into a wrong system.
I once worked in a large health care place where we didn't have a hospice system. We used a home health system instead. It handled Medicare billing. But, for all other hospice work, it needed a work-around!
After that experience, for my own agency I got a system designed for hospices. It handles all our needs correctly—from care planning, to team scheduling.
We started with just scheduling. Care plans were added later, as our case load increased. Our billing has always been handled by August Systems.
The systems shown below work well for small Hospice agencies.
Give us a call or e-mail if your needs are different. For example:
- You have more users.
- You want to do billing and payroll in-house, instead of using our services described below.
- Your agency offers other types of home-care.
- You need advanced capability, e.g. Hospice Charting.
