Survival in today’s healthcare ecosystem demands innovative ways of doing business supported by agile business practices. ONE BCG helps clients streamline their operations and improve healthcare delivery and transform workforce management.
Challenges in home-based healthcare service providers
- Inability to close the demand and supply gap: America is home to an aging population. By 2020, an estimated 17% of the entire community will be 65 or older. That’s 50 million men and women who will be increasing their reliance on the healthcare industry as a whole. Recent AARP survey results show that nearly 90 percent of those over 55 plan to stay in their homes (though roughly 20% will be forced to transfer into nursing homes or assisted living facilities). But that still leaves up to 70% – 35 million people – aging at home and reliant (at least to some degree) on home health care.
- Excessive time is spent on documentation: Focusing on paperwork can take away time that could otherwise be well spent with those you serve and their families. One of the ways documentation is hurting the business is in payroll and attendance, aged receivables, patient visit records, and more.
- Inability to stay “current” and lack of innovation: The home healthcare industry is in the midst of a technological revolution and is struggling to keep up. Learning how to use new technology effectively takes considerable time and effort. While some of the agencies are quick to adapt, a few are lagging, put off either due to additional cost burden or lack of awareness. Older, outdated systems are being replaced with faster, less-intrusive technology. From home health monitoring systems that integrate with hospital networks to mobile administration units and beyond, technology is expanding at an ever-increasing pace.
