Salesforce-Powered Homecare solution has enabled providers to streamline processes, enhance caregiver management, and improve patient experiences. By automating key functions like onboarding, scheduling, and compliance tracking, Salesforce helps homecare organizations overcome operational challenges and deliver high-quality care more efficiently.
Company Overview
Our client, a leading homecare provider, is dedicated to offering high-quality, personalized care to patients in their own homes. With a network of skilled caregivers and a commitment to compassionate care, the organization serves hundreds of patients across multiple locations. However, as demand grew, the provider faced challenges in managing complex scheduling, maintaining compliance, and optimizing operational efficiency. They turned to Salesforce to streamline their processes, enhance caregiver management, and improve patient satisfaction.
System Overview and Challenges
System Overview
The organization’s legacy system involved multiple disconnected tools for scheduling, payroll, insurance verifications, and caregiver training. With limited data visibility and manual data entry processes, operations were prone to inefficiencies, data inaccuracies, and resource misallocation.
Challenges
The homecare provider faced several operational challenges, including time-consuming onboarding due to manual data entry, complex scheduling with frequent overlaps in patient care, and slow insurance verification processes that delayed patient onboarding. Payroll accuracy was impacted by discrepancies in time tracking, and manual mileage tracking added to administrative burdens. Limited tracking capabilities made it difficult to ensure caregiver compliance with training requirements, while managers struggled with insufficient data visibility, lacking real-time insights into KPIs for informed decision-making. Additionally, inconsistent billing practices led to missed charges and potential revenue leakage, affecting the organization’s financial stability.
