A check-in that asks the right questions

Before the visit, patients choose what brings them in from 34 home health reasons, so the reason for the visit is in the chart before you walk in. Among them:

Routine home visit or chronic condition checkFollow-up after a hospital or facility stayToo many medicines or medicine reviewFalls or balance problemsMemory or thinking problemsPressure sores or skin woundsHome health certification or recertificationEquipment or supplies neededOxygen needsCatheter, feeding tube or ostomy careBlood work or lab draw at homeCaregiver stressAdvance care planningVaccines at home

The check-in also covers demographics, history, social history and a specialty review of systems.

Consents and forms included

Home health documents patients can read and sign electronically, as part of check-in or on their own.

  • Home visit patient check-in
  • Home visit consent and agreement
  • Home health agency choice and referral acknowledgment
  • Emergency preparedness plan for home care
  • Home safety and fall prevention checklist
  • Medication management at home agreement
  • Advance directive and code status information

Every form can be edited to match your practice’s policies.

Chronic care from the home

Remote patient monitoring (RPM) and chronic care management (CCM) care plans run in the same system as the chart and the claim.

NovoScribe, the optional AI scribe, drafts the visit note while you talk, for you to review and sign. AI is billed by usage.
