Use HIPAA-compliant Mobile Scanning Technology to Deliver Clinical Images and Documents In Real Time

For home-based care organizations grappling with ongoing staffing shortages and inefficiencies while trying to keep pace with growing industry demands, the reason to embrace technology has never been clearer.  

Mobile technology is one such example; it has become table stakes for any agency to be successful, and clinicians in the field now use mobile devices regularly to share patient information, including images and documents, with back-office staff and other clinicians.    

However, if not part of a dedicated solution, this process is still often clunky and certain limitations remain, such as the inability to obtain form signatures from caregivers and their patients. More importantly, it may not be fully HIPAA-compliant, opening an organization up to a potential breach and the resulting crippling costs. What organizations need is a single application that houses all the mobile capabilities its employees use on their devices – text messaging, video calls, image capturing – while adding a couple more such as digital forms management and wound measuring features.  

Such a mobile care coordination app, particularly when it interacts with a cloud-based workflow platform, can result in transformational efficiencies that liberate caregivers in the home and enable back-office staff to easily keep track of the latest updates to medical records. What’s more, all activity remains HIPAA-compliant because captured files are double-encrypted and stored remotely within the cloud technology, so nothing lives on the user device.  

Using a HIPAA-compliant communication and image capturing tool – one built from the ground up for the healthcare industry – can result in considerable benefits for an agency. Agencies’ patients and caregivers don’t have to worry that personally identifiable information will be lost or stolen, and the improvements contribute to more efficient processes and better patient outcomes by providing clinicians with the correct information in hand, promptly, to boost productivity and level of care.  

It's just the kind of solution that’s sorely needed by home-based agencies as they seek to squeeze the most effectiveness from their people, technology, and processes during these challenging times.
