Home healthcare innovation leader Axxess has released Axxess Hospice, a state-of-the-art software solution to
address the unique needs of hospice providers. Axxess Hospice was custom-built by
hospice professionals with decades of industry experience to offer unique and intuitive
capabilities that help hospice professionals more easily deliver the highest
quality compassionate care.
“We took our time to meet the needs of the hospice industry
and create another innovative solution that is unlike anything on the market,”
said Axxess founder and CEO John Olajide. “Axxess Hospice perfectly reflects my
commitment to creating solutions that streamline operations and improve patient care, and I
am confident it will quickly become the industry standard like our other solutions.”
Other hospice software have been modified from home health
Electronic Medical Record (EMR) software, which often requires further
complicated adjustments in operations to deliver quality hospice care. Axxess’ hospice
experts instead poured their insights into the development of comprehensive solutions and
features tailored to the needs of the hospice industry. These solutions make Axxess
Hospice revolutionary in addressing care needs and include:
• IDG Center: The entire Interdisciplinary Group (IDG) can
manage the collaboration process seamlessly. The IDG Center is
HIPAA-compliant and enables team scheduling, interactive compliance-tracking,
the ability to sign documentation in bulk, and individual and group
notifications. The solution enables individual IDG members to take HIPAA-compliant notes
and find them quickly, rather than needing to use handwritten notes.
• Intuitive Messaging: The Axxess Hospice Messaging Center
is HIPAAcompliant and designed to make it easy for members of the care team to communicate with one another. Chat features function the
same as the messaging systems of iOS and Android operating devices. A
group chat option allows for multiple users to engage in a HIPAA-compliant
conversation about patient or family member care. Team members can attach
messages to the patient chart using the # symbol (#johnsmith). Team members
can tag others by using the @ symbol (@suesmith).
• Scheduling Center: The Scheduling Center enables agencies
to seamlessly schedule people and address priorities without using
unnecessary processes. The patient's schedule can be viewed in increments of 14
days, a month, the benefit period, or today. When scheduling a patient visit or
task, the user has the flexibility to individually schedule, or have the scheduled
visit or task repeat on a weekly, biweekly or monthly basis. Shift scheduling enables
continuous care visits to be scheduled and tracked, and will calculate the
hours per discipline for any 24-hour period.
• Billing Center: The Billing Center enables agencies to
bill and collect for services provided in an easy, efficient way. Axxess Hospice
features color-coded indicators to let administrators know when more
documentation is needed, has been uploaded or completed, and is ready for review. Notices
of Election (NOEs) and Notices of Transfer/Revocation (NOTRs) are easily
accessible for verification
and can be automated as needed.
• Bereavement Center: While other hospice software products
may have bereavement service included, they do not have a Bereavement
Center that is easy to use, and that enables users to spend more of their
time providing compassionate, individualized and compliant bereavement
services. Axxess Hospice includes bereavement risk assessment scores and
specific tasks related to caring for the bereaved. An individualized plan of care
is created for each person receiving bereavement services, a requirement of the
Medicare Conditions of Participation.
• Volunteer Center: Providers have a feature integrated into
the software to track volunteer hours to ensure compliance with the mandatory rule
that at least five percent of total direct patient care comes from volunteers.
The Volunteer Center allows for tracking of criminal and OIG checks, volunteer
training, availability, preferences, and mileage.
Added Olajide: “The professionals who have started using
Axxess Hospice have told us they are very impressed with the power and ease of use built
into our solutions. I am delighted that our team of hospice experts and in-house
engineers have created a solution that will dramatically improve the ability of
hospice professionals to care for patients and families. It’s just the first step in a
continuing process to address industry needs and provide the highest quality compassionate care
possible.”
