  • Can I collect electronic signatures from caregivers and patients?

  • Does it work online and offline, with or without internet connectivity?

  • Does it include built-in EVV?

  • How many user licenses are required?

  • Does it support skilled care?

  • Will it handle non-skilled homecare too?

  • Is it suitable for multiple business lines?

  • Does it include Telephony?

  • Can it be used for Private Duty, Personal care or Hospice?

  • Is customer support included or extra?

  • What’s the onboarding process like?

  • Is a long-term contract required?

  • Can it bill for all payers?

  • Is it user-friendly for both staff and caregivers?

  • Will it work for Home Health Aide visits?

 

Whether you’re launching a new agency or expanding an established one, many of these questions remain critical.
