(EMAILWIRE.COM, February 14, 2012 ) Dalla, TX -- Axxess has emerged as a primary thought leader in the dynamic home health industry market vertical. C. Sam Smith, of Vi3 Technologies, a Waco, TX based Healthcare consultancy, observed, “With the recent announcement that Axxess has achieved the prestigious ANCC certification as a nurses credentialing provider, the company can not only provide home health agencies with a state of the art software platform, but can provide crucial certified, credentialed training and consulting to home health agencies as well. This makes Axxess a unique player in the rapidly expanding Home Health industry segment. It further demonstrates their commitment to excellence”.
A Home Health Care Consulting, Training and Operations “thought leader”
Axxess is a both a Consulting and Technology Solutions Provider whose expertise in training and equipping home health agencies is proven. The company can not only provide the industry’s leading user friendly and workflow-oriented software platform for agency management, but also can now provide agency owners with valuable, and up to date credentialed training in critical clinical areas, recognized by all experts in the Home Health Field, including professional nursing. Agencycore®, Axxess’ state of the art home health software enables home health agencies to integrate Point of Care and clinical documentation with administrative, scheduling and billing efficiencies. Managed Care and Medicare billing is a feature of the platform, as well as the most robust and comprehensive reporting features available in the industry.
Because of its capabilities as a leading consulting organization, Axxess has the in-house capacity to design and integrate custom and cost-effective features and reports for clientÂ’s specialties as well. This unique and very important ability sets Axxess apart in the industry.
An industry in flux
The home health segment of the overall US Healthcare Industry is rapidly expanding. Currently, there is greater interest in this industry segment than ever before. Capital is pouring into the market. The Home Health Agency market is certain to expand by an exponential magnitude with the “tsunami wave” of baby boomers nearing the age where their need for Home Health Care is more and more in demand.
Payment Bundling
Not only will the expansion and consolidation of the industry continue, but the structure of the reimbursement paradigm is destined to be revised. The bundling of payments for patients throughout the continuum of care from clinic to hospital to HHA is an idea whose time may truly be emerging, according to Jeff Lewis, long time industry veteran, whose predictions for the home health industry were published in a February 2011 article styled, “Home Health Care Prepares for Accountable Care Organizations and Payment Bundling”. Lewis, whose company Lewis, Inc. was sold to another software provider in 2010, made several predictions in his article, published last year. A year later many of his predictions have yet to come to pass, but the overall trends remain evident. This bundling idea may pervade the managed care segment of home health as well as the services reimbursed through the Center for Medicare Services.
As the sea changes in the industry continue to trend towards Accountable Care Organizations and agency consolidation, Axxess stands tall as a single source of industry knowledge and technical solutions for the dynamic era which is sure to continue to emerge. Axxess is having ongoing discussions with many nationally recognized hospital based home health agencies, and has developed a platform that will accommodate the needs of ACOÂ’s, with the capability of transferring a PatientÂ’s Private Health Information across platforms.
“The forecast for this (the Home Health Agency) market is changing almost faster than agency leadership can adapt. Axxess’ emergence is occurring just as the need for a razor sharp, agile software and consulting provider is becoming more and more important,” stated Smith, who serves as CIO of the RBA Texas Group, statewide home health and hospice agency ownership/management firm in Hurst, TX.
Smith continued, “Axxess has developed a complete line of solutions for home health agencies. Nowhere else can Home Health Agency professionals find the crucial information and training needed for managing in these times of dramatic change in the industry. Agency management can depend on Axxess to provide the most comprehensive solutions available to them in the marketplace. Emphasizing this point, Smith stated, “Moreover, the Axxess home care software solution provides agencies with the tools needed to not only maintain up to date regulatory compliance, but also is priced so that agencies can save money by moving to their platform. I am not overstating this. Axxess’ pricing is a competitive advantage to its clients. A small agency can save five figures per year by switching to Axxess, in most cases, 10 to 12 thousand dollars. As the agency’s client base grows, the Axxess enables them to continue to reap significant cost efficiencies, along with the unique Axxess-enabled capabilities as a Managed Care partner in an ACO.”
Smith concluded, “No other platform or consultant in this industry can claim such a comprehensive suite of products and services. No one.”
