A Dedicated QA Team for Your Agency
Your agency is assigned dedicated QA professionals who become familiar with your organization, documentation standards, clinicians, and workflow. We strive to maintain consistent reviewers on each account, helping promote continuity, stronger communication, and a better understanding of your agency's individual needs.
A designated point of contact works closely with your Administrator, DON, or designated leadership team to coordinate QA processes, address concerns, and ensure that services remain aligned with your agency's needs.
More Than Document Review
Our QA process is designed not only to identify documentation deficiencies but also to help improve documentation practices over time. When corrections are needed, documentation is returned to the appropriate clinician with clear feedback regarding the identified issue.
Our QA professionals work collaboratively with agency staff to support accurate, complete, compliant, and billable documentation. As recurring issues are identified, reviewer feedback helps clinicians strengthen their documentation practices and reduce repeated deficiencies.
Documents may be returned for correction as many times as necessary to address identified documentation or compliance issues without additional QA review charges.
Flexible QA Support Built Around Your Workflow
Every agency operates differently. Our Remote QA program can be customized based on your documentation volume, disciplines, workflow, payroll schedule, and specific review needs.
EHHCS provides weekday and weekend QA support to help accommodate agency documentation and payroll deadlines. Services can be structured around your agency's volume and operational needs, whether you require ongoing comprehensive QA or support with specific documentation types.
Routine telephone and email communication with your assigned QA team is included as part of our service, allowing agency leadership and clinicians to communicate directly with reviewers when questions arise.
EHR Flexibility
EHHCS has experience providing remote QA within multiple electronic health record systems and can work with agencies utilizing a variety of EHR platforms. Our team works with each agency to establish secure access and develop a QA workflow appropriate for its existing systems and processes.
Independent, Objective Review
Outsourcing QA provides your organization with an independent and objective review of clinical documentation. Having an external QA team can help separate documentation correction and compliance feedback from internal workplace dynamics while providing clinicians with consistent, compliance-focused guidance.
Our dedicated reviewers become familiar with your clinicians' documentation patterns over time, allowing them to identify recurring issues and provide targeted feedback that can help improve documentation quality and reduce the number of records requiring correction.
Quality, Compliance & Continuity
Our goal is to become an extension of your agency's Quality Assurance team. Through consistent clinical documentation review, clinician feedback, dedicated QA support, and ongoing communication, EHHCS helps agencies strengthen documentation practices while reducing the administrative burden associated with maintaining an internal QA department.
At Essential Home Health Care Solutions, our commitment is to “Take You Beyond Numbers” by helping your organization achieve documentation that supports quality patient care, regulatory compliance, and appropriate reimbursement.
