Homecare agencies, service providers and government agencies are responsible for delivering patient care services in a way that efficiently leverages their supply of qualified resources. With growing demand for patient care services and greater costs associated with delivering care, we recognize the need to optimize care delivery scheduling – getting the most service capacity from available resources at the lowest cost possible.
HCI applied vehicle routing algorithms with home-care-specific constraints and preferences to significantly reduce the driving distance and resources needed to fulfill visit requirements. The use of a flexible recommendation engine makes it possible to craft a solution that fits the goals of virtually any provider.
Our recommendation engine analyzes visit types, distance to the patients, clinician availability, patient/staff preferences, and much more to generate optimal clinician assignments.
Optimization allows agencies to provide the same quality of patient care with fewer resources all while reducing mileage reimbursement. The ability to do more with less—much more—can help drive any organizational turn-around or growth initiative to a successful outcome
HCI doesn’t just improve the way you schedule; it improves the way you do business. No longer is scheduling an act of finding a warm body to cover a visit. It is a strategic opportunity to optimize clinician time, improve productivity, reduce mileage, and cut costs.
Executives and managers have the tools to align their agencies responses to the ever-changing demands of home care. Managers can use a number of real-time reporting and integrated business intelligence (BI) tools to oversee operations and take action.
With less time spent traveling, clinicians can allocate more time per patient to focus on improved outcomes. Leaders may choose to implement new patient care programs or simply allow staff to dedicate more time to patient care.
Optimized scheduling can be used alongside an organization’s existing “care team” model, Geographic care teams can be formed to ensure the patient is seen by a small number of clinicians. This approach builds familiarity with the patient and improves continuity of care – keeping patients in their homes.
When the HCI solution is implemented, your clinical staff can provide the required visits in less time because they are traveling significantly fewer miles. Less travel means they can spend the needed time with their patients and have more time to complete documentation. This change allows the clinicians to be the best they can be, resulting in improved job satisfaction.
While maintaining the lowest mileage is an important factor when recommending resources to complete a visit, it’s not the only concern. Our solution allows you to fine tune the recommendations to fit your agencies strategic goals. For example, agencies can favor salaried staff over fee-for-service staff, full-time resources over part-time resources, prefer para-professionals and more.
