Beware of Paper

Still function on paper?

 

What care management database should you use? 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 .

This gives your care management or homecare agency a more profitable bottom line in running a business.

Care Manager Pro- Aging Life or GCM Client Data Base

June 4, 2015

PDF-Cover-of-11-10-12My-Geriatric-Care-Management-Agency.jpg

You need three databases to start an aging life or geriatric care managment. The first is a client database. We already covered Care Tree  and now let’s look at Care Manager Pro 

They offer among many other features

care palnning, time tracking for billing etc. , conversion to other formats like excel, scanning ( save money and trees), restriction of users upon request, integrated contacts so you don’t have to enter over and over, will do billing but export to quick books add on

This is a general list and best to call a service rep in all cases. Again, compare it to this master list of why you need a client data as a aging life, GCM and see if this choice fits your own professional your and budget.

Aging Life /Geriatric Care Manager Client Data Base -Care Tree

June 1, 2015

PDF-Cover-of-11-10-12My-Geriatric-Care-Management-Agency.jpg

In the aging life and geriatric care manager technology infastructure- you need three data bases.Care Tree is one of the choices I have blogged about.

It is an easy to use, cloud-based platform that allows you to better store, communicate and coordinate health and care activities for anyone.  CareTree is easy for anyone to use and has been designed to perform like a “HIPAA compliant Facebook”.
 
CareTree is a purely cloud-based solution, meaning there is nothing for users to download, they don’t have to manage servers, and they can use it on any device (computer, tablet, or smart phone).
 
CareTree is specifically designed for today’s complex caregiving environment.  Unlike software that may be designed to perform a specific task like scheduling or billing, but is being repurposed for care coordination, CareTree is specifically designed for care coordination and communication across an entire care team.  Many operators are finding that their current scheduling software doesn’t meet the expanded needs of care management, so CareTree can integrate with the scheduling software to add the functionality without require duplicated data entry.
