Improve Work Efficiency by Introducing Homecare Software for HomeCare Agency Business

What is software for the homecare or home healthcare business?

From the beginning of the home care business to the present, the “homecare software” has been based on the “care request system”.

In the work of care staff, there is a huge amount of record work such as information management of users, daily record management such as work diaries and report forms, patient management, schedule management, care plan management, employee management etc. The billing system works only with accurate and detailed daily records. There is no point in systematizing unless records are secured. Conversely, the introduction of a record-based homecare system means that the quality of daily care and the quality of office work will be increased.
