(Dallas, TX) – Today, Homecare Homebase, L.P. announced the availability of Device Link, an enhanced wireless device inventory tracking solution. The most recent addition to the Homecare Homebase Homecare Connections™ suite of products, Device Link enables homecare and hospice agencies to dynamically track every point-of-care device in their inventory. Device Link is immediately available to any agency running the Homecare Homebase agency automation solution.

“Tracking and managing our wireless device inventory was consuming a great deal of our resources, not to mention we had a limited view of its impact on our business,” said Lakita Farmer, IT Manager of Encompass Home Health, “with Device Link not only do we have a complete view of our device inventory, we know exactly when to upgrade, rotate or retire products that are outside their intended lifecycle.”

Operating through the web-based Homecare Homebase solution, Device Link allows a dedicated user to oversee the status, and current location of every wireless device in the agency’s inventory. Even more impressively, using Device Link, IT staff can update and troubleshoot device software issues over the air, eliminating the need for field staff to return to the office for service. And, should a device be lost or stolen, Device Link allows the agency to remotely lock out or wipe clean all data on a given device. Another unique feature of the product is its ability to send bulk messages to field staff for instant communication.

“Device Link is the result of a challenge from our customers – they wanted a device tracking solution with a set of features that were specific to the homecare environment,” said Guy Conces, CTO of Homecare Homebase. “We took that challenge and created a solution that simplifies daily technology tasks, and reduces the time dedicated to managing field devices.”
