New Case Study Provides Tech Best Practices for Home Health Care Providers

Battle Creek-based Great Lakes Microsystems Inc., a home health care software and IT hosting company, Tuesday released a case study to share best practices from three Michigan-based home health care providers that are using technology to manage their complex businesses.

The case study focuses on the use of specialized home health care software and private cloud hosting that is allowing providers to focus more on optimum patient care, rather than building and running their own IT systems.

The featured home healthcare providers vary in their organizational structure, but they share common challenges. They include Lifespan Inc. -- a large independent home healthcare subsidiary of a hospital group, Hillsdale Community Home Care -- a rural hospital-based company, and Beacon Home Care, a private family owned practice managed by nursing professionals.

"We've worked closely with these home health care providers, and they all do a great job of keeping people healthy in their homes," said Art Homer of GLMI. "We thank them for sharing their stories on keeping up with rules, regulation and rapid changes in their industry."

GLMI has created specialized home health care software, called Ubiquity, that is utilized by providers around the United States. Ubiquity is a comprehensive system for updating regulation requirements, managing electronic medical records, billing insurance groups  and scheduling teams to treat patients at home.

GLMI also provides the industry with managed hosting services in a private cloud, consulting for home care operation processes, on-demand remote customer support and a 24-7 support portal with training movies.
