Homecare Homebase Announces Integration with Health Recovery Solutions

(Dallas, TX) – Today, Homecare Homebase announced their partnership with Health Recovery Solutions (HRS), a patient engagement software company dedicated to population health management and the reduction of readmissions with its advanced telehealth platform that streamlines care coordination and saves times for clinicians.

“We are thrilled to partner with Homecare Homebase.  The integration and bi-directional feed will allow for our clients on the HCHB system to capture a brand new data stream for patient generated information which will enable better clinical decision making,” said Jarrett Bauer, CEO of HRS, “The ability for the two software systems to communicate will also allow for nurses to spend less time on administrative work and more time focusing on what really matters, the patients.”

Integration into the Homecare Homebase system allows two-way communication between HCHB and the HRS PatientConnect monitoring platform. The cloud based interface feeds patient demographics information into the HRS platform, enabling expedited set-up time for nurses, and allows an inbound flow and storage of vital signs, survey questions, and clinical notes generated through the monitoring process.  Improved clinical workflow avoids double documentation by nurses, and streamlines data across clinical teams to ensure actionable insights and speedy responses.   

 “There were many benefits that lead to our initial interest in HRS,” said Marvin AL-Khafaji, Vice President of Post-Acute Care, Beaumont Health, “but the secure texting feature and the fact that our clinicians have access to the latest patient information from the office, home, on the road or really anywhere were key factors that helped make our decision easy.  It also allows patients and families easy access to important information, which is definitely another a key benefit”

Developed by industry veterans, Homecare Homebase has over 15 years experience dedicated to providing hospice and homecare companies with the fast and flexible, world-class healthcare information system. In an evolving marketplace HCHB leads the way, allowing customers to not only manage their business more effectively, but ultimately provide their patients with the best possible care.

“We strive to continuously partner with Best-In-Class companies to ensure we have the most robust solution on the market,” said Scott Pattillo, Chief Strategy Officer of Homecare Homebase, “by providing truly seamless integration of all the tools an agency needs to be successful we are giving our customers an advantage in the ever changing Post-Acute world and allowing them to focus on what’s import by providing the best in patient care.”
