Judging from the number of new entrants, software that coordinates care for home health agencies and their patients is attracting substantial new interest. Eldersync, an early-stage company, has developed new web-based software (in beta test) that schedules visits with patients in their homes, verifies completed visits via text message or phone call to the system and files notes on a patient’s status. It also synchronizes the data generated by a patient’s telehealth monitoring devices with the system. Others are RemCare, Ankota and CellTrak [TA 2 June]. They are positioning themselves as less expensive alternatives to the dominant players, Sandata and HomeTrak, which require purchase of software that must be managed by the home health agency.
