DALLAS, Oct. 8, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Homecare Homebase SM (HCHB), the leading software provider for home-based care, partnered with Heart to Heart Hospice, a leading hospice care provider, to improve clinician satisfaction through advanced medication management. This collaboration has already shown remarkable results in reducing documentation time, increasing medication accuracy and enhancing overall clinician satisfaction.
As a result, Heart to Heart Hospice has achieved:
- 28.5 minutes in documentation time savings: With high documentation times contributing to clinician burnout, reducing these times means clinicians spend more time with patients and less time on screens. This reduction is particularly impactful during start-of-care visits, which often exceed two hours.
- Significant reduction in cost of medication errors: Medication errors pose a significant risk and financial burden. By standardizing medication documentation through HCHB's Medication Kits, Heart to Heart Hospice minimizes these risks, ensuring a higher level of patient care and safety.
- 65% staff adoption rate of HCHB medication kits: Streamlined medication documentation and reduced errors have led to a high adoption rate among clinicians. HCHB has provided crucial training and support to facilitate this transition, resulting in noticeable improvements in clinician satisfaction and patient care.
"The admission visit is the time when you put in most of the medications. Reducing that by nearly 30 minutes has made a huge impact, especially on our high acuity patients," shared Patrick McPherson, SVP of EMR Operations at Heart to Heart Hospice.
"Our Medication Kits feature allows hospice providers to more easily and effectively tailor medication documentation to each patient," says Sandy Griffiths, senior product manager for Homecare Homebase. "This standardization not only reduces the documentation burden on clinicians but also enhances accuracy and consistency across the organization."
