Beware of Paper
Some care managers still function on paper instead of using a care management database. That is a bad business decision. You need to give clients gold standard service to retain them . Arming your care managers with the most user-friendly fully loaded client database makes that concierge care so much easier to deliver. This gives your care management or homecare agency a more profitable bottom line in running a business. So spending money on a client database makes 
more money.
What are the ALCA Choices for a GCM Database?
Using a database rather than paper will increase your revenue by 30%. You enter case notes and billing in real time rather than hours later when you get back to the office, when you forget exact billing time.There are only five significant aging life or geriatric care management client databases. So the choices for client software are slim. Jewel Code has been around for many years. More recent additions are Care Tree and ihealthhome My Junna is the newest product. Care managers and ALCA managers are fans of Clear Care, which offers staffing if you also have private duty home care but is not user friendly for geriatric care managers. If you are a geriatric or aging life care manager or a private duty home care agency doing geriatric care management- which GCM Software should you use and why. Find what you need in your client database and check out each product to see if it has what you want.
