Software vendors offer home health products
While there are many software vendors available, both Shannon Clark, RN, BSN, MBA, assistant vice president of Haywood Regional Medical Center in Clyde, NC, and Joseph T. Cortese, director of health information management and information technology for Montefiore Medical Center Home Health Agency in Bronx, NY, suggest that you make sure vendors offer programs that are designed for home health agencies.
The best ways to check out which vendors are reliable and offer good products is to read professional publications and ask your peers in other agencies, Clark and Cortese recommend.
