Who we empower every day

By Persona

  • Supervisors – Verify caregiver credentials, licensure alignment, documentation and scheduling as per regulations.
  • Care Managers – Assign only caregivers with appropriate credentials and ensure services delivered align with scope.
  • Billers – Ensure provider enrollment details, licensure and EVV data support claim submission.
  • Schedulers – Assign staff in accordance with agency credentials, regulatory scope and EVV capture tools.
  • Caregivers – Understand which agency credentials they are under, know the scope of tasks permitted and use compliant tools.
  • On-Call Coordinators – Manage backup/emergent staffing while ensuring agency compliance with licensure, EVV capture and documentation.

Licensing and provider enrolment are foundational. In settings with EVV mandates, a system that links caregiver credentials, scheduling, EVV capture and claims helps maintain compliance and minimise operational risk.
