CommonSpirit Health at Home Leverages HCHB Medication Kits

Dallas, TX – August 27, 2024 – Homecare Homebase^SM (HCHB), the leading software provider for home-based care, commends CommonSpirit Health at Home for the adoption of its Medication Kits templating feature to support better patient care through simplicity and accuracy. Struggling with laborious data entry, documentation errors, and disorderly processes, CommonSpirit created Medication Kits to optimize their time and efforts in a customized, dependable manner, improving both patient and clinician satisfaction.

Enterprise-level Medication Kits have been widely adopted and praised for their convenience and ease of use among clinicians. They streamline and standardize documentation, eliminating guesswork and reducing oversights. This has improved provider satisfaction by simplifying processes and ensuring safety.

"Time savings are crucial in the health industry. Our Medication Kits have saved clinicians 10-15 minutes per intake for home hospice and 30-45 minutes per admission for In-patient unit (IPU) and Skilled Nursing Facility (SNF) patients, allowing more focus on patient care," said Karen Snavely, Region Director of Clinical Services at CommonSpirit Health at Home. "The ease of excluding medications from the kits is a big plus, simplifying the process for clinicians."

Medication Kits used at CommonSpirit reduce errors associated with customized treatment plans. Since implementation, they've lowered weekly order returns and tailored kits to suit diverse clinician locations and patient needs, fostering flexibility and success through customized simplicity. 

"At Homecare Homebase, our goal is to empower healthcare providers to achieve peak efficiency," said Luke Rutledge, Chief Commercial Officer at Homecare Homebase. "The significant time savings and streamlined processes at CommonSpirit Health at Home are not only enhancing clinician satisfaction but also delivering meaningful benefits to their patients."
