If you provide services to any IDD population, you’ve probably heard of EVV, or Electronic Visit Verification. In this post, we discuss what EVV is, why it is important, and a simple EVV integration to our already user-friendly electronic documentation system.

It’s common knowledge that most treatments work best when they are started as soon as possible.

With all of these tasks piling up, it can feel like there’s not enough hours in a day to take care of everything.

If you’ve made the decision to switch your agency over to an electronic documentation system, you undoubtedly want the transition and implementation to go as smoothly as possible. Since both administrators and staff become frustrated when new technology doesn’t function as expected, it’s important to have a plan in place to roll out the new software and handle issues as they arise.

Here at ConnectCare, we offer direct, one-to-one support for all agencies making the switch to our premier electronic documentation system. We make implementation easier for everyone by being available for questions, training, audits, and more from the date of implementation and beyond.

There’s a lot of talk these days about the benefits of allowing staff to enter their goal documentation electronically, and with good reason. Electronic documentation systems allow service providers to use client data in ways never imagined! Even though the pros of making the switch to an electronic documentation system far outweigh the cons, there are still many factors administrators should consider before taking the plunge.

More and more electronic documentation systems are becoming a necessity instead of a luxury. With insurance companies, government agencies, and regional organizations all moving toward eliminating paper waste and implementing electronic systems, the smart IDD provider is already thinking about making the switch for their agency as well.
