What Databases Do You Need to Start a GCM Business?

October 10, 2019

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 and arming your care managers with the most user-friendly fully loaded client database makes their concierge care so much easier to deliver. This gives your business a more profitable bottom line in running a business. So spending money on a client database makes stock-photo-2811391-three-business-persons-working-with-laptop-in-sunny-office.jpg more  money

What are the ALCA Choices for a GCM  Database?

There are only five significant aging life or geriatric care management client databases.  So the choices for client software are slim. Jewel Code and Care Manager Pro more have 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. However, it is not really as user-friendly for most care management needs. If you are a geriatric or aging life care manager or a private duty home care agency doing geriatric care management- which one 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.
