Home Care Software Security and Compliance: A Buyer’s Guide

Software buying decisions in home care tend to focus on what a platform can do scheduling, billing, EVV, reporting. Security and compliance often come up later in the process, if they come up as a distinct topic at all.

This guide takes a closer look at that second category. It covers what HIPAA and SOC 2 mean in practical terms, what questions are worth asking a vendor, and what a reasonable evaluation process can look like for an agency without a dedicated IT or security function.

It’s written for agency owners, administrators, and operations leaders. It doesn’t require a technical background. And it isn’t a substitute for legal or compliance advice agencies with specific regulatory questions should consult qualified counsel.

The chapters that follow move from foundational concepts to home-care-specific considerations to practical tools: a vendor evaluation checklist, a list of questions to bring into a demo or RFP, and a short self-assessment for agencies already under contract with a vendor.

What You’ll Learn:

• Why Security and Compliance May Matter as Much as Features
• The Basics of HIPAA and Home Care Software
• What a SOC 2 Report Can Indicate About a Vendor
• Security Risks That Can Affect Home Care Agencies
• Risk Points That May Be Specific to Home Care
• Evaluating a Vendor’s Compliance Posture
• A Vendor Evaluation Checklist
