Prioritizing safety is a huge part of home health care services, which includes their home visits that team members often must perform. It is common for team members to check in with a partner during home visits, which can often disrupt each other’s work and requires the knowledge of multiple schedules. A digital solution can help streamline the process of checking in and out of home visits, and create an efficient, automated method of tracking employee’s schedules.
SimplyCast presents the Safety Checks for Home Visits solution, which leverages automated communication technology to assure team members are kept safe, while reducing the inconvenience of memorizing schedules. Home visits can vary in duration, so knowing the right time to follow up with partners is often difficult.
This solution is intended to be used by home health care visitors, their partners, and their managers. Here is how each person would take part in our solution.
The Safety Check Process
SimplyCast expected the need for home health care services to have an improved method of checking in on their employees conducting home visits.
Within this process, there are a few simple steps for the team members to complete.
Team Manager- Step One
Creating a central database to store each team member’s contact information is the first step for the manager. They can choose to do this using a short online form, or an Excel spreadsheet that contains all the contact information.
Home Visitor- Step One
When the required team member arrives at a home visit, they simply must complete a short online form with their name, and the address of the home.
Home Visitor- Step Two
After the visit is complete and they have safely left the location of the home, the team member can check out by filling out a second short online form.
Partner- Step One
If the team member conducting the home visit fails to check out after a predetermined amount of time, their partner will receive notice. An email will be sent letting them know that they should reach out to their partner and confirm that they are safe. The message the partner will receive is completely customizable, and can include any next steps they should take, should they be unable to contact the partner doing the home visit.
Team Manager- Step Two
When the visit is complete, the team manager has the option to review a final detailed report. This report may include a timestamped record of each check in and check out, a copy of the reminder messages sent, and an individual contact profile for each team member.
