(Dallas, TX) – Faith Hospice of Oklahoma has announced the deployment of the Homecare Homebase hospice automation solution across its six dedicated hospice facilities throughout the state. Faith Hospice, headquartered in Oklahoma City, is a rapidly growing, community-based hospice organization devoted to excellence in patient care and providing the emotional and spiritual support its patients and their families’ needs.
Faith Hospice was challenged with finding an automation solution customized to the hospice environment, one that offered real-time, wireless information exchange that could link its geographically dispersed offices and one that would enhance communication between everyone on the patient’s care team.
Using powerful handheld PDAs running the Homecare Homebase hospice solution, Faith Hospice is now able to automate workflow processes enabling accurate billing, volunteer tracking, bereavement coordination and submission of claims. Most of all, Homecare Homebases’s technology reduces staff preparation for IDT reviews allowing caregivers to dedicate more time to caring for their patients.
The system ensures that all interdisciplinary team members – doctors, nurses, clergy, social workers and more – are kept in the loop throughout the entire process. Each IDT member has instant access to the most current patient electronic medical records and visit data allowing them to deliver a truly informed, collaborative care effort. More time is spent discussing options and plans for patient care with little time wasted on paperwork and preparation for meetings.
Developed by industry veterans who understand the unique clinical requirements and challenges of the hospice delivery system, the Homecare Homebase solution is designed to be practical and customizable. “Given their experience in the industry, Homecare Homebase understands our devotion to clinical excellence and emotional support for our patients and their families,” said Michael Curtis, CFO of Faith Hospice. “With the Homecare Homebase hospice solution we have more time to focus on providing excellent service at the point of care and better manage our processes and information delivery throughout the office.”
“Our hospice software solution is designed to be user-friendly and customizable,” said Tom Maxwell, COO, Homecare Homebase. “We have worked closely with Faith Hospice to develop a solution that improves their hospice services, allowing them to devote more time to their first priority, the patients and their families.”
