AI and Automation: Improving Home Health Operations

The healthcare landscape is, slowly but surely, starting to integrate artificial intelligence (AI) to automate tedious and error-prone tasks. Administrative burdens, staff burnout, and manual errors can all be reduced by incorporating these groundbreaking solutions.

But implementing AI in your day-to-day operations is easier said than done — unless you have trusted experts at your side to guide you through. That’s where WorldView and Vivid Health come in, providing advanced tools that make a tangible difference.

Moreover, AI and home health automation create opportunities for practices to grow and evolve. Embracing cutting-edge technology means more efficient resources and a better patient experience. Here’s what you need to know.

Reducing Administrative Work with AI-Driven Documentation

If there’s one pain point that all home health agencies have in common, it’s manual administrative work. Endless time-consuming tasks can not only lead to frustrated staff but also increase the likelihood of errors.

That’s where generative AI in home health comes in, creating care plans in seconds and reducing time spent on manual entry. Vivid Health’s AI tools are entirely focused on ensuring no time is wasted on tedious paperwork while also maintaining the highest quality of patient records.

What makes Vivid Health so unique is that they are the only multi-modal AI care platform in the market. That’s technical jargon, meaning their platform can speak with patients via its Voice AI agent, can write clinician notes via its ambient technology, and can assess, plan, and follow-up with patients via its chat function. Vivid Health believes that the more administrative task the platform can take on will result in more time for the clinician to focus on their patients.

In addition to time savings, automating healthcare documentation also increases accuracy by identifying potential errors early in the process. When it comes to documentation, accuracy is just as important as timeliness — and Vivid Health takes care of both.

Fewer errors mean greater peace of mind for you, your caregivers, and your administrative staff. This directly translates to a better experience for your patients and their families, ultimately improving care delivery with technology.

Automating Workflows to Improve Patient Outcomes

Referral intake and physician order tracking are two administrative processes that are crucial for delivering seamless care. But they are also common bottlenecks in most agencies due to delays in approvals and incomplete documentation.

WorldView’s automating tools take that load off your staff’s busy hands. Forget about chasing missing signatures, dealing with misfiled forms, or looking for lost papers — a streamlined approach will help you focus on what truly matters.

Automated workflows not only help you provide better patient care but also increase your cash flow by improving turnaround times. Additionally, they mitigate compliance liabilities, enforce transparency across your practice, and promote accountability among employees.

Ensuring Data Security and Compliance with Advanced Tools

Data security and compliance are absolutely non-negotiable in any home health agency. WorldView and Vivid Health both prioritize HIPAA compliance and security measures for all the crucial information in your practice.

Caregivers can accidentally violate HIPAA regulations without you even noticing, leaving your agency vulnerable to audits and regulatory procedures. This can happen due to a lack of training or overworked staff — in any case, it’s best to turn to advanced tools.

For example, WorldView’s home health, hospice, and senior living solutions let you manage patient records, track orders, and collect electronic signatures all in one place. This streamlined process ensures your practice can manage any sensitive data while staying audit-ready at all times.

Case Study: A Day in the Life with Vivid Health and WorldView

Imagine a home health agency that has embraced all the automation and healthcare AI tools WorldView and Vivid Health have to offer.

When an agency receives a new patient referral, they turn to Vivid’s voice AI agent. This tool then calls the patient to confirm insurance details, schedule visits when appropriate, and can even initiate the initial OASIS (Outcome and Assessment Information Set) evaluation. All the new information is processed in minutes. This enables the care team to focus on starting a patient plan right away instead of dealing with tedious paperwork.

The patient is then referred to a clinician, who securely receives all the sensitive information without any extra steps from your staff. The Vivid platform generates a comprehensive care plan in seconds and allows the clinician to focus on confirming and refining the care plan rather than starting from scratch. During the appointment, Vivid’s AI scribe technology further advances the process by listening to the conversation during the visit and documenting notes in real time, eliminating the need for extensive post-visit paperwork.

After the appointment, the clinician’s order is tracked electronically thanks to WorldView’s automated workflow. Any missing signature or misfiled form will be detected right away, preventing unnecessary administrative follow-ups. Vivid’s platform automates follow-ups to check in with both patients and caregivers to monitor progress, prioritizing care for those who require the most attention. This ensures that resources are allocated efficiently while maintaining a high standard of patient care.

Simplifying and reducing manual tasks in home health can lead to over 700 hours saved annually on operational activities, reduced paperwork-related costs, and a turnaround time reduction of over 80%.

Conclusion: Embracing AI and Automation for a Smarter Future

There are endless benefits to integrating AI and automation into home health agencies and hospices. Time savings, increased accuracy, and enhanced patient satisfaction are just some of the improvements you’ll see.

WorldView and Vivid Health offer innovative solutions that can help your practice stay ahead of the curve. The home health industry is more competitive and demanding than it has ever been, but cutting-edge tools can take the load off your hands.
