A number of home care software solutions are available in the market today that are integrated with features and functionalities to adhere to all the compliance and contribute in the best possible care delivery.

The bottom line is that whatever EVV-based solution your agency chooses, it must document precisely that a visit took place, ensure that caregivers provided the expected services, allow for timely and accurate documentation of the activities performed, and ensure compliance.
