What Are The Top 5 Features Every Home Health EHR Should Include?

In today’s fast-moving healthcare environment, home health agencies need more than just digital recordkeeping. They need tools that simplify complex workflows, improve compliance, bring more efficiency without sacrificing ease of use or adaptability. They must alleviate administrative burdens, all while making life easier for caregivers and continuously improving patient care.

Whether you’re exploring software for the first time or considering a switch, here are five essential features every Home Health EHR should include.

1. All-in-One Workflow Integration

The best EHRs don’t just document care, they manage the entire agency operation. From intake to billing, scheduling to documentation, everything should flow together in one system. This reduces double entry, minimizes errors, and saves hours of time.

Alora’s home health EHR platform is built to be powerfully simple, offering a fully integrated suite that covers all areas of your agency’s workflow in one place.

2. Mobile-Ready Point of Care

Home health happens in the field, not behind a desk. Your EHR should be optimized for mobile devices, allowing caregivers to chart visits on-site – even offline when needed – with intuitive interfaces and minimal disruption.

Alora’s mobile-ready solution works on any device and supports offline charting, keeping care flowing no matter where it happens.

3. Built-In Compliance Safeguards

Regulations like Medicare Conditions of Participation for Home Health and EVV can be minefields. An ideal home health EHR should guide users with built-in checks, real-time alerts, and automatic compliance updates, so your team stays survey-ready without the stress.

Certified by both accreditation bodies – CHAP and ACHC, and with automatic EVV integration, Alora Home Health Software helps agencies stay compliant while focusing on care – not paperwork.

4. Fast, Intelligent Billing Tools

Getting paid quickly and accurately is critical. Your EHR should streamline claims creation, flag errors early, and handle both Medicare and Medicaid billing with ease.

Alora’s intelligent billing engine cuts denial rates and helps agencies get paid faster, with built-in tools for both Medicare and Medicaid workflows.

5. Easy Onboarding and Support

Even the best software for home health is useless if your staff can’t figure it out. Look for a system with intuitive design, easy training, and responsive support to keep your team confident and productive.

Alora’s setup is fast and frustration-free, backed by award-winning U.S.-based support that’s just a phone call away.
