How HealthIT Solutions Help Cut Healthcare Costs

After working on mobile projects and solutions for 10+ years, we know the benefit of introducing mobile technology into the workplace.  Because savings and changes in efficiency can be so dramatic, we want to share the positive experiences our clients are experiences.

In this case, customer Home Again continues to the unfold the different ways using FieldSync Assisted Care is helping them reduce costs while continuing to deliver high standards of care to their residents.


Heather D, who operates Home Again explained how she keeps a nurse on call 24 hours a days at an hourly rate of $3.00. However, if that nurse needs to visit the facility for any reason, that rate escalates to $20.00 /hour. That's a huge difference!

In a recent example of how FieldSync Assisted Care helps cut costs, an incident concurred with a resident that resulted in an injury. The nurse was able to log into the system, read the incident report and view treatment details to determine a visit was not required. Without that level of detail being available at the point-of-decision, she would have made that visit, passing along an additional $17.00 /hour expense to the billing system.

In addition to high costs, our healthcare system often suffers from doctors, nurses and other caregivers not having accurate patient data when and where they need it. Health IT initiatives, which include products like FieldSync Assisted Care and FieldSync Rx are all designed to bring data together to eliminate potentially life-saving mistakes and help bring down costs.

We will continue to showcase how clients are using mobile and web-based app to increase efficiencies. To start talking about how mobile technology can make a difference in your workplace, please contact our mobile specialists to discuss your needs.
